Defensive Holding is called when the ball is not yet in the air. That player being held is not the intended receiver. Makes all the difference.

The ball is not yet in the air. (Also, IIRC, intended receiver has nothing to do with defensive holding.) But we see plays where the corner gets beat and holds the receiver before the ball is in the air and the QB still throws it to where the receiver is supposed to be. Why is the ball being in the air the deciding factor? The corner is preventing a big play in both scenarios.
Scenario 1: QB throws it to where a receiver is supposed to be. CB gets beat and holds the WR before the ball is in the air. 5 yards and automatic first.
Scenario 2: QB throws it to where a receiver is supposed to be. CB gets beat and holds the WR while the ball is in the air. Spot foul and automatic first.
Same foul. Huge disparity in penalty.
