Unfortunately also not true - I've been offloaded while my bag flew and was subsequently lost, they offloaded someone else's bag. I think no-one ever has any kind of control anywhere, it's the big bag distribution monster in the sky, reaching down with its noodly tentacles and moving them around!
The rationale for the distinction is, I would have thought, pretty obvious.

This changes nothing to the rationale for the distinction between voluntarily separating yourself from your bag and being involuntarily separated as a result of bag misconnect/loss, routing mistake, etc...

Absolutely agree, and I didn't mean to take away from your meaning. Ensuring that bags don't travel without customers is one of the few security measures I see at airports which I think really adds some kind of value (that is, makes it more difficult to potentially plan an attack).
