Here's what I love about it.

If you're standing on the sideline - whether you're a player in the game or not in the game, or a coach, or a GA, or a trainer, or just a fan - and see your team fumble the ball and an opposing player about to recover it, just reach out and touch the ball before anyone else does and it's your ball right there.

Well, if you're not in the game maybe after a penalty - but it's YOUR BALL!

Is this not the implication of that rule?

Seems so, and as you just mentioned, open to abuse by nonplayers.

I’d love more clarification on this scenario

The rule as is is terrible. It’s actually an advantage for the fumbling team to get their players out of bounds and just reach/push/kick to try to get a fingertip on the ball to keep possession. Staying in bounds and trying to recover it you have to actually recover it….
