Because the original OT puts games almost squarely in the hands of a kicker. This option at least forces both teams to consider being aggressive and going for a TD (the first team would want to go for the TD to guarantee a win, and the second team might go for the TD if the first team scores a first-possession FG).

There's at least some strategy. Do I kick or do I go for it? I don't see how anyone would have a problem for it.
