You are already wiping a possible bucket. That is the point differential that is equitable with non PC fouls. Of course, not all PC fouls involve shoots, but many do. But, if you do wipe the bucket, the fouling team has just lost 2-3 points and then you send a player to the line for up to 2 more undefended shots. That sounds really inequitable to me.
If it were to be different, it would need to be PC fouls would only occur while in the act of shooting. All others would be common fouls. That would be a more sensible balance than shooting all PC fouls.
