The fact that he anticipated that doesn't mean that he chose to let it get away. It means he was smart.

Think of it as "the dribbler getting away from the ball", rather than "the ball getting away from the dribbler." This is a completely different play from when the dribbler steps on a line or out of bounds as he continues his dribble uninterrupted. Player control is not lost in that case, whereas it is in the posted play.
