What's your rationale for calling one time violation strictly by rule and then not calling a different time violation the same way?

I agree, call the three second violation because a player could be gaining an advantage by camping in the lane and call it at 3 seconds. If a player is taking more than 10 seconds on a free throw, he isn't gaining a huge advantage, he still has to shoot the ball. The rim won't move closer if he waits longer.
In this case, the free throw violation seems to be more lenient, but is and should still be called at 10 seconds.
