Wouldn't moving the ball closer to the lane be giving one team an advantage.
If my team trapped your player in the corner and your player threw the ball off my player and it went OOB between the 3 point arc and the sideline - then the official puts the ball in play halfway between the arc and the lane I would be livid as a coach. Especially late in a tight game. That's why the rule is at the spot closest to where it went out.
