if we are going by this simplicity of enforcement that you speak of from a procedural standpoint....we should throw in intentional fouls from half court too.....

The thing is, not every technical foul happens at the spot where the ball was going to be put into play. The way it is now, once a T is called, we can forget about the previous spot and who had the ball and all that. It's simple, half court.
With an intentional foul, there is always a "spot of the foul."
Your change isn't a bad idea, but again, I think it's a solution in search of a problem. It doesn't happen often enough to be an issue. No more often than a team actually gets better field position because of the throw in spot.
