Well, that admittedly makes some sense. I'd also think that if you're forced to throw inside, you're also gonna hit some batters, especially if you try to throw an inside curve for a strike.
As a Junior, Jake led the SEC in HBP until Carly Hoover passed her in post. You do not want to force pitchers like Jake or Hoover to throw inside as they are more than happy to oblige. Rainey Gaffin from Tennessee went there and it did not work out very well.
Conversely Jakes former teammate Nickie Blue threw a hard drop and players did very well at the back of the box. This tactic works extremely for my TB team as it keeps the catcher on her knees and it is run rabbit run.
