the rules should be changed so only the ref decides when play is stopped

He can easily stop play at any time without the players deciding when to put it out. And in those cases it's totally clear what should happen in the drop ball.
In most cases putting the ball out is unnecessary and in many cases it's used to waste time under the pretence of doing a good deed.
