I think the league just does a shitty job of clarifying and executing it's own rules. They also, undeniably add and subtract weight from certain violations. They let offensive holding slide a lot, and it's because they want to protect quarterbacks. Unfortunately, holding is still a very real violation according to league rules. Refs can enforce it when they choose to, and it becomes a lot more subjective.
It would be like an employer telling people they can get fired for smoking weed. Always been against the rules, always fireable. The one day, the employer has a hiring shortage and needs workers. They let up a bit on enforcement to keep jobs staffed, but the policy remains. You can still get fired if they feel like firing you, but they might not.
