Having part of a foot touch the plate does not necessarily mean any other part of the body is in the strike zone.
Parts of the batters body enter the strike zone all the time swinging at outside pitches. What's your point?
It's a silly rule...

And I'm sure FED and NCAA has reason they do not consider gratuitous. For one, what business does the batter have standing in the strike zone?
