I think it's a way of ensuring that you keep your partners off of your opponents' ball.

If your own is stuck, you declare dead ball, the ball is dead, assists are reset, and you get a new ball--and to be clarified, you might get goal points from it if it comes free.

If your opponents' is stuck in you, you get 100 points in fouls, possibility of an alliance red card...AND they get a fresh cycle! Translation, if you know a partner has a tendency to chase and possess the wrong ball, keep them far, far away from the opponents' ball, by using the E-stop if you have to!
