The FTs for the IF/Flagrant in combination with the possession are considered to be enough of a penalty/compensation. Getting those 2 extra points is worth far more than being able to run the line.
In other cases, the endline run is retained because the the throwin is the only compensation for the infraction. The loss of the running privileges would be the only real effect, a benefit for the team committing the infraction instead of a penalty.
