He's going for the ball not the man, if that's a sin bin and penalty and they're alright with it I'll give the game away. I'd imagine 99% of league fans would be absolutely embarrassed if that costs a team a game.
It's just how the game is. Every "crusher" gets penalised, intentional or not. Any tackle that hits above the shoulders gets penalised, intentional or not. I'm not saying in any way that Ponga intentionally hit MCK in the head, but it doesn't matter - any contact with the head is not on in today's game.
