I would argue penalties is a lot more arbitrary than away goals.
And you could equally argue it incentivizes offence over defence for the away team.

I'm curious as to who is the driving force behind the change? The players? Managers? Big clubs?
Mostly big clubs. Less chance of an upset when you can't fluke an away goal.
