I agree that many officials do not know the rules well enough to distinguish between illegal motion and illegal shift. An on-field debate with these officials is unlikely to yield clarity.
Nonetheless, the rules are quite clear if one bothers to learn them. Your example regarding A2 being late to his set is an illegal shift.
The argument that a shift involves motion, and so an illegal shift is also illegal motion is bogus. Illegal motion has a clear definition in the rules, and this is not it.
