I don't have a link, but it was out in place to protect players on those one-bounce high-hopper onside kicks that everyone used to run. If you'll notice, most onside kicks are squib type kicks now, rather than the high bouncing one hoppers.

And on onside kicks, receiving teams can call for a fair catch if the ball is driven into the ground and bounces only once.

During a free kick a player of the receiving team in position to receive the
ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is
kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground, strikes the
ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball kicked directly
off the tee.
