I think that player has earned the right to contest for the ball as part of competing.
I know some of us are concerned about throwing a good jump ball in a close contest, but I think that skill would improve as more jumps are administered.

If the defensive player had done a good enough job, they would have taken the ball from the offense. They didn't, so they don't
deserve anything.
And, by the same reasoning, the offense didn't do a perfect job either.
