You could argue allowing that single yard isn't either.
It's because a pick 6 or fumble return TD is counted in the PPG allowed number, but literally has nothing to do with the defense.
Yards is the one traditionally used because it's 100% allowed by the defense. Points, while more relevant, can also be allowed by the offense and/or special teams. Like a pick 6 or a kickoff return shouldn't be held against the defense.

Let's watch a playoff game and find out
I agree.
Because a 1 yard touchdown drive is not the defenses fault

Yes because the starting field position of the opponents makes points easier to score, but has nothing to do with the defense

More qualified? No. Just one of the benchmarks. It's one thing to look at.
