B1 is not gaining an advantage, they played good defense or A1 made a poor throw-in pass, but in either case neither A1 nor B1 did anything to keep or lose the right to the arrow.

A kick is different because it is, in itself, illegal. a deflection isn't. See the difference?

The results are the same, it's a violation and the other team gets a spot throw-in.

It doesn't seem reasonable to me that the results should be the same. I mean, this isn't a huge deal, really, but it's one of those darn little pebbles in the shoes.

Why should the act of kicking the ball cost team B the next AP possession? What you are arguing is that A should be entitled to an extra possession. A possession they got from the arrow, and did not lose because of the kicking violation. Seems like a pretty extreme penalty for playing defense with no advantage gained.
