Well i guess the rule could be defined as 'interfering with play' in the same way as attackers
Seems somewhat onesided if the defending team had a player down near the corner flag, the striker in theory could just stand in the 6 yard box
Define 'interfering with play'
At every goal there are lots of players that are not 'interfering with play'

If anything, ignoring defenders who are injured not interfering with play would discourage this, because it continues the idea of play continues until the ball goes out of play before a player can receive treatment.
Define injured
The ref can stop the Game at any time, if there's an obvious injury he MUST stop the game
