I think you hit the nail on the head which is the integrity issue. Coaches who teach techniques that say do it until you're called. Parents that know thier child is doing something against the rules but get mad when it's only their child that gets called. Umpires that don't want to call something because they don't have the fortitude or the backing to do so. Organizations that turn a blind eye to something or then change a rule because they don't want to enforce a rule.
It's not just softball. See the the Houston Astros.

Remember the time when a baserunner left early and the umpire missed it? The base runner then removed herself from the field as it was against the rules to leave early.
Yeah me neither.
Integrity when it's convenient for your team I suppose.
