The A position is the absolute best position to determine if a pitch is legal, or not. Unless we are prepared to ignore all of the footwork, being on the lines is absolutely the best location to determine if both feet are on the pitchers plate, as well as crows hops and leaps. It seems to me that starting in the B position is a statement that we DO plan to minimize illegal pitch calls.
It is a much rarer circumstance, but if you are going out on a fly ball to right, you can't work the fair/foul line from the B position, either.
