In the literal sense, the official is delayed from whatever his next action is...reporting, making the ball live by throw in, whatever...while having to fetch a ball that the player spiked. That's part of the game.

In reality, I have to believe the Fed put this rule in to allow officials some latitude in addressing foolish behavior such as this.
