During a run play there is probably one or two offensive linemen who are more than 2 yards past the line of scrimmage, along with the WRs running decoy routes or blocking downfield due to soft coverage. If a RB threw it out of bounds they would get penalized for ineligible man downfield.
At least I think this is the reason why
Right. That makes sense.
Still, often even a five yard penalty would be better than getting buried with a loss and also lose the down. But in any case it doesn't seem so intriguing to throw it, so I now also think that's the reason why.
