Why not? That's what you'd do if the dribbler tapped the ball over the head of the defender and then ran around. You wouldn't blow the whistle until you saw whether the dribbler let it bounce or not, before touching it.

The rule book says explicitly that unless it was an interrupted dribble BEFORE they step out, it's a violation.
By taking your approach there is nothing but interrupted dribbles. If something does not cause them to lose player control before they go out it's a violation.
It's really simple, for once the rule book says it exactly in 9-3 note.
