You need to control and acquire the ball. Picking it up helps. If you want to, say, have a firing system you naturally need a way to pick it up. I am aware you can bump into it and hope it goes in the direction you had anticipated but reliability is paramount. Securing the ball is an excellent means of doing so. But no, it is not the opposite, your mentioned method is just unreliable.

Not to mention that pushing the ball without a mechanism is no longer considering possession with the new team update. Herding it still is, but that leaves you open to having the ball or you knocked away.... And it's not like I'm saying teams shouldn't build possession mechanisms, but a lot of teams won't or won't have good ones, and they'll count themselves out before they should.
