Why don’t more coaches decline an intentional delay of game penalty by the other team on 4th down to get better punt kicking position?

Mario Cristobal declined an intentional delay game penalty in the 4th quarter of the Texas AM playoff game and I was surprised I don’t think I’ve ever seen it happen. It seems like an obvious thing, why let your opponent get in better punting position to pin you deep when you don’t have to?
