One of the better defenders here in Australia, Cirian, can very effectively time his hits. His main strategy is that if an attacker is very close to the penalty box and is charging a shot, he hits the attacker about halfway through the charge. This tactic is very effective because it leaves the attacker with the option of either making a medium power shot (which is relatively easy for the keeper to save) or to have the shot screwed up completely.

I'm an attacker by the way, so I've experienced and had to deal with this clever tactic first-hand.

without removing the insta kill in the pbox this would horribly unbalance the game, simple as that. low scoring games can be fun but not when they are artifically low because one possition is made too easy, which would be the case with this change

It's all down to the timing, something which I have learnt the hard way over and over! :p
