Look, if simply applying a downward force met the definition of "pushing the ball to the floor", then holding the ball and touching to the floor
would be a dribble, wouldn't it? You're pushing the ball to the floor, and the ball strikes the floor. That's got to be a dribble. But the rules specifically tell us it's not. So your version of "pushing" doesn't meet the requirement of a dribble.
