Think about it like this. You have an 0-2 count and no one on base. A wild pitch is thrown. If you simply swing at the wild pitch with no intention of hitting it, you can just run to first base. Meanwhile, if that same thing happens and you don’t swing, you have to stay put, you just get a ball.
We are literally rewarding batter’s for taking awful swings

Yes, because I'm sure the batter can think of this quick enough with an 0-2 count and a wild pitch to deliberately swing at a wild pitch. It's the strategy on everyone's mind.
