Jim, would you be arguing the same advantage/disadvantage argument if the punter had been on the other team? I don't think so.
The official has no choice. He has to make a call. What you suggest is like no calling a kid for just barely stepping OOB, on a long TD run. We have no choice. We have to do it.
There's nothing wrong with the rule. The last thing we need is more exceptions.
