The fouls Embiid drew last night are rip-thru and shouldn't award free throws

EDIT: I was wrong. I don't like the rule, but it is clearly the way the league intended for it to be called.

/Thread. Have a nice day everyone!

So to preface this: I haven't watched enough sixers to make a judgement in general of what Embiid does and if this is his normal game. I am therefore just talking about this one specific game.

Several times, when a defender was guarding his face up post position, they would have an arm out to guard him. He used a rip-thru move to get them to put a foul on them and then threw the ball at the basket. I honestly don't like that this is a foul at all, but the rules and precedent are clear and my personal opinion on it doesn't matter. Despite the player on offense creating all of the contact and the defender not having done anything against the rule up until this offense-made contact, this will always be called a foul. However just a few seasons ago, it was ruled that these fouls would no longer award free throws. Why is it that Embiid received free throws anyway?
