The rules in the end zone still require a receiver to come down with at least one foot in bounds

The only requirement appears to be having progress stopped in the end zone.
Since the pylon is in the end zone and out of bounds his progress was stopped(by touching the pylon) in the end zone(by being in the end zone).

Progress can only be stopped by another player who prevents the player from touching the ground in the end zone. And this is not to be confused with causing an airborne player to land out of bounds. That results in an incomplete pass.
Despite your attempt to make the rules say what they do not, the picture of the play in question defies all your attempts to argue that black is white.
