If Team A scores a touchdown, then they basically get the result of the play and the penalty is enforced on the try or kickoff. The basic spot of enforcement for a loose ball play moves from the previous spot to the succeeding spot.
This is no revelation. The rule change was imposed originally for field goals and tries and then worked its way to touchdowns. The NFHS perceived too many "free shots", primarily by B, to foul against a scoring opponent where the scoring team was having to decline a foul to keep the score. They are trying to "disincentivize" fouling for the sake of stopping a score.

I guess for consistencies sake, they decided to make it all fouls rather than just personal fouls.

I could live with changing it to PF's too.
