Too Harsh ...

Over the past forty-plus years I seem to recall a few other technical fouls being changed to violations for the same reason (too harsh, not called enough).

Excessively swinging elbows with no contact may have been one?

Not sure about the other, but I'm pretty sure a second one exists.

Increase Likelihood Of Infraction Being Called ...

COMMENTS ON THE 2005-06 RULES REVISIONS - LEAVING COURT FOR UNAUTHORIZED REASON CHANGED TO VIOLATION (9-3-2): The rule for leaving the court for an unauthorized reason has been changed from a technical foul to a violation. Leaving the court during the course of play has been increasing with the former penalty of a technical foul not being assessed. Typically, this play is seen when an offensive player goes around a low screen, runs outside the end line and returns on the other side of the court free of their defender. The violation will be called as soon as the player leaves the court. The committee hopes that changing the penalty will increase the likelihood of the infraction being called and eliminate this tremendous advantage.

I checked.

In forty-plus years, excessively swinging elbows with no contact had gone from a violation, to a technical foul, and is now back again to a violation.
