I agree with your point but as always you have to see the situation you describe to rule on it.Personally I look for the touch versus a control or push move. If, like you say, a player just touches to find a player, thats okay. Its when the hand is left there or is used to push or direct I have a foul. If the officials in your area are allowing defenders to keep thier hands on offensive players they are wrong.
What you've just described as OK the NF describes as a foul:
"The measuring up of an opponent (tagging) is hand-checking, is not permitted, and is a FOUL."
