Why not? They're forced to snap in lots of long yardage situations, so what's the difference with forcing them to kick?

There are many fouls which could happen. Blocks below the waist, illegal substitution or participation, roughing the kicker/holder, free kick out of bounds...

That last one would be really bad aim if they're hoping to kick a long field goal, but I suppose it could happen if the kicker, realizing he needs to extend his range, really tries to kill the ball and shanks it badly. More likely to produce that, they've already been penalized once and are no longer trying for goal, and are trying to place the ball near a sideline.
