"so why not draw it where it is already literally drawn for us - don't go beyond the white line; this will make transgression easier to judge and enforcement easier."

The reason is simple. In many cases people are shoved over the white line or the surface changes between laps because there's dirt, rubber, coolant on the track so that where it was safe to brake in one lap is not safe in another.

If every incident that ran over the white line ended up in the clerk's office, there'd be no racing.

Hence the idea that although any wheel over the line is a 'fault', it is only when that fault becomes deliberate, as in done consistently, or the driver is making repeated errors and is thus 'unsafe' that action needs to be taken.

It allows a clerk to ignore the mistakes of a novice and penalise the deliberate taking of an unfair advantage by a more experienced driver by applying the same rule to both of them.
