Yes, it's fuzzy. Yes, it's difficult to detect. Yes, there are more important things to be watching, as tracking the pitch must be the primary focus. But it is certainly not impossible to see blatant violations of being out of the box at the time the ball is hit.
It is rare, and should only be called when it is obvious to everyone, like when the batter actually steps across the plate to hit the ball. In cases like this, it is hard to imagine the batter making contact while his foot is still in the air. I've never seen a batter swing and hit a baseball with his front foot in the air, as his foot is invariably on the ground at the contact point.
So, calls like this are fairly easy to call on the rare occasions that they occur.
