If the aim was to get it exactly right in a more scientific way, they would take the time keeping out of the hand of the match officials and give it to a guy in a box upstairs who would stop and start the clock at any and every stoppage. That is the exact fix. I personally don't want that at all.
In theory, FIFA as the sport's world governing body, should be the one to govern games in its tournaments as close the laws of the game as possible. In theory, the expectation should be that the continental and league governing bodies move closer to FIFA's position, not the other way around.
