Putting an arm straight up is very distinct and different from extending one horizontally.
For example, an official starting a backcourt or closely-guarded count when the action is near an OOB line could easily be mistaken for a direction point.
The clearer that the signal is for the timer the better.

By your earlier thoughts, why not skip the raised arm in these cases as well and go straight to the signal for the violation?
