Can imagine, aside from that it's so hard to prove intent for sure, it's because it's far from settled whether getting in the way of the throw should be penalised. On the anti side, it's obstruction/cheating. On the pro-side, the batter's risking injury so there's that element of bravery/foolhardiness.
Changes, of course, if a batter uses his bat to block a throw. It's really the same thing but because he's not putting his body on the line, people are more apt to want to see that punished.
