The reason for a different penalty is based upon the severity of the infraction. It's not that a "ball" is being called with the "advancement of runners." A ball is called because it is the inverse of what happens when the batter isn't ready in time (strike).
The pitch itself isn't illegal. The delay of game is illegal.
