Even if you establish a priority based on primaries as the Women's side has done, you could still end up with the wrong call. The mechanic does little to actually ensure the call is right since it automatically defaults to an official based on primaries. Some may believe that it's better to go with the double foul and penalize both rather than arbitrarily picking one based on who can convince the other that it was in their primary.
Also, there are locations that even the women's mechanics don't really deal with completely...boundaries between primaries or double coverage areas. The officials still have to make a decision.
