That’s why the rule exists, to protect the runners.
I realize that. My argument is, why protect them?

The runners on the bases have to essentially stay on the bags or risk getting doubled off when caught. Instead, the fielder lets it fall then gets the easy double play at 3rd and 2nd. The runners on base have no chance without the infield fly rule. Why should a pop up in the infield be a double play?

That’s not an argument, that’s a rhetorical question.
An argument would be, “the infield fly rule should be eliminated because . . .”
An argument would be the infield fly rule protects the baserunners because otherwise they would have no chance at either advancing or returning to base safely.

So you can’t get a cheap double play
