I don't think this is true. First, the definition of LAUNCH specifically mentions an active mechanism. If the intent was active or passive, they would have said that.
Second, by your reasoning, if a gear is stuck on top of my bot and I stop quickly so that it falls off, I've just LAUNCHed a gear and get a yellow card. Penalizing someone for shaking off a gear that would otherwise get them penalized seems excessive.
