If that’s the case, leave the return responsibilities to someone that thinks it’s his REAL job. You can trot anyone out there to fair catch it or run out of bounds before contact.
PP21 returns them because he’s sure handed. I’d be willing to say he’s never muffed a punt. You can’t just trot anyone out there because punts aren’t easy to catch. If anyone could do it I’m sure we’d have seen someone other than PP21 returning them.
