Spoiler:
This scoring is intended to encourage the use of more characters (since vowels are vital to word creation, they award fewer points). The creation of words with rare consonants and long words is also encouraged with bonus points.
Words formed deduct 1 point each in order to prevent words like "I," "a," "an," etc. from scoring points and punishes the player for forming shorter words over longer ones.
Mashing a special character is punishment in two senses -- you miss out on a letter that would have been there and you get points deducted from your score. This is just another facet of the game.
