Why do QB's only get 4pts for TD?

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I'm probably going custom scoring for 6pt TDs. I just saw a mock draft site (real good one) with Mark Ingram right above Tom Brady on default rankings. QB's SHOULD be all 1st or 2nd round picks.

I always draft a high QB, Rodgers, Manning, Brady. I find them to be more valuable than most people.

The idea is that they score 30+ TD's while RB's/WR's score like 15 as a high number.

I'm of the opinion that all tds should be 6 points, and all fgs should be 3 points.

You answered your own question

It basically increases the value of QBs and distorts the balance of positional powers.

8 of the top 10 players in 6 point passing TD, PPR leagues were QBs last season. 13 of the top 20. The top 7 were all QBs. Guys like Andy Dalton and Josh Freeman were top 20 players.

With 4 pt TDs it decreases the value of QBs like you said Brady below Ingram. But with 6 pt TDs it does the opposite and you have bad QBs above very good players.

The way to make QB play valuable but not too valuable is to tweak the points for passing yardage.

6pt tds, 50 yard passing=1
or
4pt tds, 25 yard passing=1

i personally like 6 pt TDs because thats what a real TD is worth. I also dont like 4 and 5 pt FGs.
