I think one of the reasons some penalty values are that high is to prevent them from being made for a strategic reason.

For instance, when an opponent has possession of a ball with three assists in place, a desperate defender might decide it was worth the penalty if it's value were worth less.

Safety and consistency also weigh in. Safety needs to be strongly encouraged. If a human player got a 10 point penalty, they might get a word from their coach. When they get a 50 point penalty, they hear about it from the whole team.

Consistency is not having confusion on which fouls are worth how many points. I know, the scoring system takes care of most of it, but understanding the score in the stands is easier if they are all the same, not various amounts.

In any event, I've seen many penalty-free matches, so it must be working. I don't think changing now that competitions are underway would be appropriate.
