You need to watch more matches then! There are many bots than can manipulate more than one 2x ball, or even use one, and go for another. Since a lot of strategies call for controlling the 2x balls, you go for whichever is closest to you, and maybe your partner can do the same. Not evenone has the capability to grab or push goals effectively to their own side, so you're not necessarily helping them score any points in the mobile goal. Sometimes the mobile goal never moves - it hasn't seemed to be an integral part of the game yet. I think most would gladly take control of the 2x ball to cap their own full goal even if it lets the opponent score a few balls in their mobile goal.
