Of course it would be nice if the game did simulate errant balls without advancement or runners being out trying. I would love the excitement of seeing the ball get away from the C and a runner trying to advance not knowing if he would make it.
Not sure if developers consider this not worth the coding time or if there are not real world stats to base it on? In today's world it may well be that baseball reference has the stats, I just haven't looked so don't know.
Hopefully added someday.

I've never seen a runner thrown out at home, even when there is more than one runner on base - ie one on third and another one or two on second and/or first.
Only one runner needs to advance for a WP/PB to have happened.
