To be honest, it's better as either always one frag or always two frags. Anything dependant on motion will be gamed by smart players (as Castiel pointed out).
One good reason for putting headshots and knifes to 1 point is simply to deter lag knifing in OSOK. In confined spacing it's common for players to shoot their opponent first and then be knifed by them. The first player (who settled with just a shot) could have knifed his opponent later but tried to kill him quickly so as not to die himself. Since knifing gains two points his enemy only needs to hit his knife half the time to stay even.
Somewhat related is the issue that deaths are shown further left than score but score is more important in deciding which side won that deaths. This is really unintuitive!
