But that isn't really penalizing them. I doubt Blake Coleman's +/- would be worse if he played on the powerplay more, although he would likely have more points. That's like saying counting point total stats penalizes players that don't play on the powerplay, or counting goaltender wins penalizes back-up goalies.
That's why we collect other stats like PP points or SA%.
