I imagine the primary reason is that in ajmc's case, a 20 yard foul is more punitive than is desired. That's essentially a drive killer, especially if it's not on first down. Having done games under both, I'm inclined to agree. I think going previous spot for those types of fouls is a better balance between offense and defense.
And note that there are times when 3 and 1 (NCAA's terminology for ABO) does apply behind the previous spot. Illegally kicking the ball and batting are two such examples.
