Because they cant control every aspect of random events. They sure as shit can steer it into a favorable position though.
Look back at the Detroit/Dallas play-off game. Lions were about to go up two scores late...and they picked up a flag on an obvious PI penalty. It would have essentially ended the game with a FG. They proceeded to barrage the lions with multiple PI penalties which immediately got Dallas into scoring range. That was the most blatant example I've seen...
Pass interference should be a challengeable penalty...but never will. It's too valuable of a "judgment" tool....and can swing games late.
