As a BJ during the initial wording (PSK only during the kick), it was difficult to determine sometimes if the foul occured prior to the kick or during the kick. The current wording makes it much easier to officiate.

And 99% of the time, the punter will not look for a receiver getting held and decide to punt the ball. You don't complicate a rule to allow for something that happens so rarely.
