From a coaching standpoint, I hate it when officials have this type of mentality. If team A is driving to the basket and cutting hard, they most likely will get fouled far more than team B that settles for early long range jumpshots and do not crash the boards. Intentionally calling fouls to make the foul count even puts one team at an unfair disadvantage. A team that pressures, traps and scrambles will probably have more fouls on hand-checking and reaching type situations than a team that sits back in a soft zone.

From an officiating standpoint, I hate it when officials have this type of mentality also. And for exactly the same reasons that you listed.

Call the game the same at both ends and forget about trying to even things up.
