Yeah part of the reason for shootout vs extended OT was meant to have a conclusion without more time for TV to go over the limit which they are comfortable with.
Plus I am sure the PA would have issue (if only trivial, but anything to be the opposite voice of the league) of player health with an extra 5 minute (and certainly more)OT 3 on 3. It was likely discussed when the rules changed.
There is no easy answer outside of bringing back ties.
