Any specific play will have a ruling about who is responsible for contact, offense or defense. That doesn't undercut the rule's general principle concerning the dribbler having "greater responsibility for contact." I think Camron's right to read this as "don't automatically penalize the defenders unless they do something illegal."

In the OP, they did, as I think we're all agreeing.
