In the original post, PA Coach explicitly stated that he did it to see the offensive set. That's a big advantage. That's why you used to see a delay warning in every close NBA game. Now it's an automatic T in the last 2 minutes. It's clearly an advantage, even if the clock is stopped.

For the NBA, it mostly agree with you. However, they knew it was going to happend so the teams would run a decoy play. Then after the warning, they would run the real play. Since it was such a silly dance, the NBA decided to eliminated it. Only way to do that is a T. No violation would have mattered to the defense.
For High School, I don't know that most teams would be able to adjust the defend the play to begin with on such a short time. If they called timeout, a new play could be called. Many player have alternate options in case the primary option is covered.
