Bc why not? 50 yard penalty or 15?

15 all day, every day.

I hate the way the NFL does DPI

I agree but I think there should be intentional PI and unintentional PI. If it’s not intentional then sure 15 yards, but if that rule gets set they can’t take advantage.

If that’s the rule and a DB gets beat and purposefully trips, pulls or hinders the WR then I think that should be intentional DPI and be a spot penalty

I'm not in favor of giving refs MORE leeway in interpreting the rules. They already have too much agency in the outcome of a game.

Absolutely. I did like the suggestion of 1 play to gain 15 yards instead of attempting an onside kick but after I thought about it that would just invite more terrible officiating deciding games. Imagine the outrage after stopping the offense and a phantom PI or defensive holding being called
