I am missing some big important fact here, because I can not understand why a pitcher, in the set position, can not throw home. After all, that is how a pitch is delivered. He does exactly the same thing movement and retires a runner, then so be it. The batter should hit the pitch if it looks good to him.
Now if the pitcher "runs off the rubber towards home" when he sees a runner advancing from 3rd that is a different issue entirely.

Then it's not a throw, it's a pitch.
