Another example would be suspending the three count when the ballhandler makes a move to the basket.

But to be even pickier, the fact that these examples are coded in rules and cases makes them not advantage/disadvantage calls at all. Passing on a travel because it "didn't matter" is applying A/D on top of the traveling rule. Dropping the delayed defensive violation after the made free throw, is applying the rule as written.
