People aren't considering field position. You receive the kickoff first, you're getting it at worse at your own 25. You get the ball 2nd, it could be a kickoff after a score 3 or 7, or they could punt it inside your own 10.

Of course field position is a consideration. But the current format, barring a ballsy risk to go for two by the team who gets the ball first, allows the team who gets the ball second crucial advantages like using the full set of downs and the ability to win with 8 points. Those are just too important to ignore IMO.
