I specifically identified a situation where the defensive player was moving and had not established LGP.

the exception would be in block charge scenario where a secondary defender is sliding over and the torso is ahead of the feet.

And this is my point for bringing it up. The NBA and new FIBA rules make it much easier for the ball-handler to "beat" the defense by taking extra steps.

Secondly In a spin move an offensive player is spinning away from a defender so if said defender was already there LGP has already been established.

That is an assumption that is not always true.

LGP only matters in block/charge scenarios.

As I stated in my previous post and above, NBA and FIBA have given the offense an advantage by allowing extra steps with no offsetting change for the defense.
