I don't know why people assume this indicates an advantage.
It usually means we were unduly held down or spoiled inside the opposition 20, because teams know this is an easy way to nullify our attack.
I put it to you that of the 8+ penalties we might receive in a game like this, there are probably another 20 the refs didn't want to blow.
In short, if penalty counts were supposed to be even, we may as well do away with them.
Spot on.
