I'm the one that brought up the question in the first place, and it was a sincere question.

The part above in bold is what was concerning to me. The statement implies that an illegal screen can only be a blocking foul. As we have explained, an illegal screen can be a block, a hold, a push, a chuck, etc.
The action in play 3 is an illegal screen, and it is an illegal screen because of the push.
