3 point penalty, but completing a top row logo would be worth at least a 12 point increase (3+3=6 becomes 3+3+3X2=18), even more if a ubertube is on a peg.
I had the same question regarding crossing the midfield in autonomous to stop a double cap.

Needless to say many in the FIRST community felt this wasn't GP. You may find a similar viewpoint.

That being said, I think you are absolutely right. Grabbing a tube would definitely be worth it. But by starving teams, you're forcing them to take a 3 point penalty for each tube.
