Your post is consistent with my experience.

My experience tells me that this is an intentional act that circumvents the intent of the rules by creating an unfair advantage to one team.

While killing the ball may prevent a ball being subsequently thrown out of play and basees being awarded, it also prevents the double or triple play previously mentioned.
Instead of sending runners back or taking runs/outs off the board, you take control this situation before anything else goofy can take ocurr.
