One reason it's written that way is that if the pitcher balks, but still completes a pitch, and the runners all advance (at least) base, the balk is IGNORED for the runners, but ACKNOWLEDGED for the batter (that is, it's "no pitch").

And this is why coaches should not pretend to illustrate their rules knowledge.
