The reasoning is that the NFHS doesn't want multiple fouls charged for one action, but also doesn't want someone to get away with a major infraction simply because a lesser one occurred first.
What you are contemplating by only calling the first would lead to situations such as only whistling an excessive elbow swinging violation when the offender swipes twice and connects with the opponent's face on the second one. Officials cannot let the IPF or FPF go unpenalized in such cases.
