How do you know a bunt single don't start a big rally? Until they use clocks in baseball, why should teams help the opponent beat them or not use a play that will catch the defense off-guard to try and set up to win a game? A bunt single is a hit period and the player did his job and got on base. No hit is a cheap hit. That's the purpose of playing. To try and win.
