With Hochuli ruling the pass incomplete, why was the ball placed on the 10 "where the ball struck the ground"?

If i remember correctly, the line of scrimmage was inside the 10. if the pass was ruled incomplete, why not place the ball back at the original line of scrimmage for the next play? Not trying to be a smartie, just wondering.....
The play was ruled in inadvertent whistle. And since there was actually a fumble, the ball is placed where the ball was ruled dead. The place the ball was ruled dead was the 10 yard line.

Peace
