You obviously are not involved with these type of games. If everything at home is a force out, there needs to be a specific point in time when it becomes a force. If there was no commitment line, then every time a runner touched 3rd, a throw home could be arguably a force out on a runner rounding or stepping off the base even if there is no attempt to advance.
That is why there is a commitment line.
