A couple years ago, I spent the tournament rewinding and reviewing every single spin move I saw. 100% of them were travels. 0% of them were called. The game doesn't want this move to be illegal, and I'm fine with that.

We’re in violent agreement on your first paragraph. Without a dribble, they are all travels.
On your second paragraph I disagree. In my area, we do want these called. It’s a matter of convincing officials to pull the trigger when they’re not 100% sure it wasn’t some sort of awesome pivot. Video review at meetings has helped many of us see exactly what you observed. I think that has increased the likelihood of these travels being called around here. Interestingly, the coaches seem to be appreciating that we’re calling it.
