Fair question. I felt I was seeing too many SB using the “run and hit” approach. It just seems to work too well. Admittedly, my experience amounts to a small sample size. But my “house rule” is to not abuse it. Of course, with “run and hit” and “hit and run”, there is the ever-present risk of a line drive DP or the strike-him-out and throw-him-out DP, so perhaps that threat becomes self-limiting. Not sure about the programming, but I don’t recall a runner being thrown out on an attempted steal through “run and hit”.
