Like the decision since outside of rare occasions, the end result is always the same. Might as well let pitchers save those 4 pitches for later or more important situations. MLB doesn't really save that much time overall but pitchers get to save a bit of their arm for games.
Think it might have been Busty Olney recently who said the amount of times that play gets contested every season is tiny. Like around 4 times or so where it gets botched or doesn't result in an auto-walk.
