Roughing the Kicker

I am sitting here watching the Ravens-Steelers game and before halftime there is a close roughing the kicker penalty. I know watching the replay, the call might be considered questionable. I start talking with my father and we come up with the idea that we have been seeing this more and more, in the NFL, college and a bit in HS. The job of an official is hard enough, but I think you have kickers practicing these close plays so they can draw a flag. While it might not impact many games, these plays tend to occur in big moments.

How do you all feel about this call? Is it a problem or is it just something that occurs not often enough to address? It seems to be that its deception and could be considered unsportsmanlike. Just wanted to throw it out there
