Break up a "no no" with a bunt?

Here's another one of those baseball rules. Never break up a no hitter with a bunt for a hit attempt. I'm not sure when it is appropriate and when it's not appropriate. But, I do know that if and when a player would bunt for a hit to break up a no hitter he would be vilified to no end.

What ever happened to playing to win the game?

I mean if you're losing 2-0 in the last inning, why not bunt? Because some "rule" says you can't break up a no hitter with a bunt. That's more spurious baseball talk that makes zero sense.

Play to win the game. If it means bunting for a base hit, then that's exactly what you do.
