The pros, not just MLB, have the "phantom" or "neighborhood" touch at 2B on a DP. The purpose is to prevent, as much as possible, serious injury to the pivot men.
It's pretty much like F3 pulling his foot just before the ball arrives, as long as the throw is accurate. Again, in the name of preventing injury.
Rememember, the pros have millions of dollars invested in these guys.
