Fumble implies possession and a muff implies no possession. SO if the player had possession and lost the ball, then travel or dd could be appropriate. But if it was deamed no possession, then travel and dd is impossible. It has kept me out of trouble and easy to explain to the coach.

It may have but that's not what the rules say.
A fumble is an accidental loss of player control.
You can't have traveling without player control.
You can't have a dribble without player control.
