So, why a foul on this play? What is the difference?

Because you can't rule a common foul on a monitor review unless there was a whistle for some sort of foul in the first place. Their only choices were F1 or F2, and the play did not meet the criteria for either.
Every player being entitled to their spot is a common concept in basketball. The offensive player had time and distance to avoid contact and didn't in this play. He also didn't stop upon contact, he extended his arms further in knocking down the opponent.
