Wouldn't this also mean that it is the batter, not the front of the plate, that determines the point at which a pitch is determined a strike and a ball, and nowhere else?

There in lies the problem. I have always thought that most fans and coaches believe the strike zone follows the batters position in the box. Hence a batter way back in the box appears to be getting low strikes called on him when in fact the ball has crossed the plate at the right height. They yell "what was that blue" and they really don't have a clue. It's almost the same problem with catchers setting up to far back.
