Compare the two situations....

One person really deserved the foul but you tag both....1 incorect...1 correct. It more-or-less comes out as a do-over except a couple fouls are put in the book.

One person really deserved the foul but you tag one....you have about a 50% chance of actually getting it right but if you don't you double penalize the one that actually gets the foul....they get the foul and the other player does not. Now you have a 2 foul differential in the books vs. what should have been....2 incorrect.

Given that these are very infrequent, I'd rather be half right every time than incorrectly and doubly penalize one team half the time.
