So what ARE you going to allow after a psk foul? Apparently something other than a free kick or snap!

Seriously - I see your point, but if you use this rule as strictly as it seems you want to, the captain has NO choices. You can't invalidate the free kick option using your logic without also invalidating the snap option.
