I'm not saying it's a good thing, I'm just saying what it expect.

I fully agree with all you points.

I am just suggesting it doesn't have to be this way. It's a choice.
Unfortunately, brutal defense is the choice that is made the majority of the time.

This year has far more defense than the past few years simply because of the game design. There's only one ball for your alliance! So if you are the "forward" on your alliance, what do you do while waiting for your alliance to move the ball to you? Play defense on the opposing alliance (or set a screen for your alliance).
