If you want to force the infielders to make a good throw, that's a valid reason to not grant time. But to keep the game moving, granting time seems the best way.

I only see this in LL and equivalent. Kids throw to pitcher, runner leads and dances. It takes forever to get the game moving. If you grant time, runner can't do anything.

In softball, we had rules that girls couldn't steal home, but on an overthrow to the pitcher, they could go home. We'd have catchers run from the backstop (they never actually caught the ball) all the way to the mound to hand the ball to the pitcher on every pitch.

I agree that making them throw is part of the game, but it does not keep the game moving.
