I think the whole point is that there shouldn't be an advantage to any team in a penalty shootout. It's a huge advantage to give a team the first penalty purely because they've had fewer cards.
This ABBA system in tennis tie breaks has an almost 50/50 outcome and frankly isn't that much of a big change
