A player shall not leave the court for an unauthorized reason.
True regarding the specific wording of the rule in question. But one should be able to intelligently apply the rules in all situations.
The Intent And Purpose Of The Rules
… it is important to know the intent and purpose of a rule so that it may
be intelligently applied in each play situation. A player or a team should not be
permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule. Neither should play be
permitted to develop which may lead to placing a player at a disadvantage not
intended by a rule.
justacoach made a good point, maybe he oversold it, but it was still a good point.

I would like to hear more about the history of this change from a violation to a technical foul.
