Yep. I do often use R&H in the game because of the absence of this option, and I don't notice a big decrease in probability of success, although that may have to do with using the option in counts where the defense doesn't normally expect the runner to go (1-2, 2-2 especially).

Hit and run isn't a steal play at all, a steal can only result from a botched hit and run. Instead, the batter tries to make contact no matter what, usually because the runner is slow and you want to send him to avoid a double play.

Fair point.
