It's ALWAYS an illegal touch. They never actually throw the flag because there is no yardage assessed, but if done on the final play, it is technically a defensive foul...and thus one more play
ETA; Bad coaching too....they should have warned their guys not to touch it

Technically I think it's a 0-yard penalty when the punting team downs the ball. That's why the receiving team can try to return it without risk after it is touched.

In the early days, the punting team would try to bat the ball forward to gain a few extra yards.

Someone already pointed it out..the return team is supposed to be given every opportunity to field the ball. If the punting team touches it first, then the return team CAN'T turn it over on the return.
It just so happens that the return team rarely trys to when defenders touch it first

There's nothing to refuse..unless someone picks it up after someone from the punt team touches it and trys to return it. It's a spot foul

Penalty Accepted = 5-yard penalty, re-play 4th down.
Penalty Declined = receiving team gets ball at spot of illegal touch (unless the kicking team muffed the ball, in which case the receiving team can advance).
90% of the time, the penalty is declined.

Refs are told to blow the play dead if a ball comes to complete rest for 1 second with nobody trying to touch it.

After a few seconds, the referee would have declared the ball dead. If there was time left on the clock, then San Diego can run a play. If not, the game is over.

What you said is "illegal touching" what happens if the kicking team touches the ball first without it reaching the receiving team's "restraining line"... the line of scrimmage, or on a kickoff or fair catch kick it would be 10 yards from where the ball is kicked. So what you said is the penalty on a kickoff touched before it goes 10 yards.
It's a different situation on a punt when the ball has crossed the LOS. Then it's a first touching violation and the choice is take the ball at the spot or take the result of the play. There is no option to back them up five yards and make them replay the down.
