While you can draw some similarities, they are simply not the same.
Again, teams can ice the puck on the PK. Should they then be able to shoot it over the glass intentionally, but only when short handed? Obviously not.
One keeps the puck in the playing surface, the other is removal from the playing surface. That is a point they have decided has gone too far.
I will take the odd case where a guy accidentally puts it too high, when he knows the rule, and knows the risk, over opening it up to new “accidentally on purpose” stoppages in play
Simple but effective rule. Not 100% perfect, but I can sure live with it
