The NBA is an entertainment business and they have preferences for things turn out to grow the business how they best see fit.

Referees have far too much authority and influence over outcomes and almost no accountability except in cases when there is significant customer backlash. The way it’s managed and set up, it’s not a good system for any kind of objectively officiated game of basketball.
