Because if they didn't then even a pass that touched a defender could not be recovered and dribbled again.

I think you are confusing "recovering the ball" and "can not dribble again." In the case of the pass that isn't touched by a player (but hits the floor), they happen at the same time. In the case of a fumble, they are different things.
