In soccer:
Advantage played: a goal is scored.
Foul called: no goal is awarded and a penalty kick is given
Which best suits the offended team? Advantage.
In basketball:
"Advantage" played: a goal is scored.
Foul called: a goal is scored and a free throw is given.
Which best suits the offended team? Calling the foul. Every time.
So, no, the concept of advantage from soccer, namely, don't allow the offended team to be hurt more by enforcing the penalty for a foul, is not the motivation to not calling "and ones" because an "and one" doesn't hurt the offended team.
