While intent may be a big part of it, there may not be intent in some cases, i.e., opponent in a shooter's visual field struggles to stay in a legal position and moves his arms to keep his balance. If one believes that such action and movement distracted the shooter, one has to call the delayed violation and award a substitute free throw if the first one misses (especially if it misses everything).
