But if A1 runs across the floor, secures a loose ball, sets the ball on the floor; some here are saying, not only is he allowed to touch it, he can pick it up and dribble it??

The real irony here is that the inconsistency you highlight is an example of the problem with your argument. The ruling on the sliding player scenario is an exception, and is completely inconsistent with the traveling ruling. Now you want to "solve the problem" by introducing another exception, this one completely inconsistent with the dribbling rule.
There is reasonable justification for the exceptional ruling on traveling, what is is the justification for an exception to the dribbling rule?
