It's all a matter of persepctive. It's not that a team is given a point for a missed field goal; it's that the defending team chooses to concede a point in return for field position.
The only time a team really is given a single point for a missed field goal is when it sails through the end zone. But how often does that happen? If the team is close enough to have it not hit the ground 20 yards past the uprights, chances are they aren't going to miss either.
