They don't necessarily benefit if the clock is already stopped. The ruling that says to ignore it if the clock is running is to prevent the defense from stopping the clock in a situation when the clock would run out without the throwing even occuring...thus getting a chance to steal the ball that they would not otherwise have.

To call the violation will stop the clock and force the offense to actually make the throw-in. There would be no penalty for the infraction. So we either ignore it...letting time run out...or we call a T. Either way the offending team does not gain. All other cases, like fouling, usually give the offended team a chance to score FTs.

If it's a deliberate violation, with the aim of stopping the clock, that sounds like an Intentional, no...wait... it's not a foul... let's see... Could we make up an Intentional Violation, shoot two and give the ball back at the point of the inftaction?!
