That's an interesting idea. But would you then be allowed to kick field goals?
I loathe the idea of field goals being an excuse to win a game, but they are effectively half a score. They can't count for nothing. Could always demand a "win by two (halfs)" rule for an immediate end to the game. Otherwise winning score after full OT wins. Discourages the kick but doesn't discredit it.
Football is really complex because of that. Everything we say makes some kind of implication with how things will be played out.
