I am assuming it is another attempt to make the play safer.
But unless they make every kickoff a 4th and 15 (punt) then I would agree with you and be opposed to just making on-side kicks a 4th and 15. There is nothing cooler than a surprise on side kick when no one is expecting it. I still remember when the saints did it in the Super Bowl. If it works it can be a major game changer to score and then get the ball right back.
