Look at the two rules before the LBR (8.7.R & S).

It requires that the runner not leave the bag.

Now, define "leave". If you were speaking of an area or space, I would agree, but the "base" is a defined object. If the foot, hand, ponytail, whatever, looses contact, it left the base.
I'm not suggesting we start calling people out merely for shifting weight, moving feet, etc., but.....

Only during the pitch is contact required. That's in the pitching rule section.
