If you want to go the "actionless contest" route, I don't see how you can pick one team over the other when they are both responsible.

The technical foul is for the defense committing intentional violations that turn the game into an actionless contest.
You
can't pick the offensive team at all because they are
not committing a violation and they are
not turning the game into an actionless contest in any way.
Au contraire, they are getting the ball back into play quicker by missing than if they had made the FT.There is no penalty in place anywhere in the rules that deals with a missed FT. Having a penalty for that would be the height of ridiculousness.
