The rule is more specifically designed to protect defensive players from blind screens; but the screening principals apply to all players without the ball. The rules assume a player with the ball knows both where he is heading and who is in his way. This also applies to a player who knows he is about to receive the ball.
You said it happens "all the time." It doesn't. Frankly, I haven't witnessed the original scenario more than a couple times in my career. It's rare, to be honest. I'd say it's rare because offensive players don't tend to run blind.
