I don't think there's a whole lot of safety added by killing kicks immediately as they cross the planes of goal lines, but I agree this isn't going to change anytime soon.

Fed instituted that during an era over which they put in several things that make the ball dead or prevent play. This one survives along with encroachment killing the RFP.
