I do not see why partner should be in a better position to judge.
Apparently few took the profitable sacrifice.

Your points are not totally without merit but I respectfully disagree.

In the context that we play an active style of 1 level overcalls at matchpoints only partner has an idea if 4♠ may be -800 or if we have a live chance to beat 4♥ and they will NEVER own a double. ♣AQx without a spade winner might beat them and if a 1♠ overcall includes ♠KQJxx ♥x ♦xxxx ♣ Kxx or swap the minors... -800 or the phantom sac are both possible.

If partner doesn't have a clear action after 3♠ (as few found the sac) they may still get it right, 50-50 or so or we accept avg- but keep the goose eggs off the table.
