If yes, then why isn't BI called more often when the dunker makes contact, with the arms or other body part, with the ball while it is in the net?

If no, then why is BI suggested (Cameron/Nevada) when it hits the dunker's head as the ball is in the net?

What does the text of the rule say?

4-6-1: “Basket interference occurs when a player:...Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on or within either basket.”

Does the action you describe meet the conditions of this rule?

All you have to do is read the plain language of the rule and apply it.
