A thing I hate: refs don't make players sit out long enough

I'm seeing more and more players need attention and remain on the ground for multiple minutes (and not something caused by a challenge). Yet, they get waved back on 5 seconds after play is restarted. I think that is BS. It's one thing if it's the result of a bad challenge, but I've seen it just from cramps.

Not in the laws

We pull them right back on when play restarts.

The only requirement is that they leave the field (if play was stopped for them, unless they are a keeper).
Why is it not consistent?

I've seen players waved right back on and I've seen refs make them wait. If it isn't in the laws, I don't see what the 4th official doesn't just send them back on when ready.
