The NBA allowing a lot of leeway on the gather/3rd step is a newer event and fair to critic.
But NBA players have always palmed the ball when dribbling. AI, Hardaway, Isiah, etc, all of them did it. And the worst offenders were the non-center ISO/post-up players of the 80s and 90s like Barkley and Mark Jackson. They would take one dribble while backing up 2 or 3 steps.
Not defending Tatum, but its not a new thing.

Patrick Ewing was the worst. Would take like 2 secs between dribbles backing down as he blatantly carried. Never called
