F2 has equipment F4/F6 have no equipment and are exposed.
Also, your comparison is not a good one. We are talking about ROUTINE plays not Bang bang plays.
When a runner comes crashing into F2 for the most part the play is close or F2 is blocking his path.
You cannot compare a play at the plate where F2 is blocking the runners path to a ROUTINE play at second base.
