It may not happen due to all of the personalities involved but there really is no good reason for them to be different. They are really only different because neither side wants to compromise with the other over difference that don't matter.

At every single level, they could be made the same aside from the timing differences (different length game, shot clock, etc.), ball size, rim height, and maybe some court dimensions. None of those elements are playing rules. All of the playing rules should be 100% the same from pros to kids.

And there are other sports where it is done. It can be done without much difficulty in just about every sport IF the involved parties wanted to converge. But that would mean that someone would have to give up a position of power.
