I completely disagree with that. The new point of emphasis on that rule didn't even happen until 2018. So far this year, there have been major discussions surrounding that call (body weight) against Chase Young and Frank Clark. Through 5 weeks, the NFL was on pace to shatter the number of roughing the passer calls in a given season.

That call is made 100 times out of 100 in today's NFL, unless some ref has his eyes closed. You cannot drive a QB into the ground with all of your body weight, without even attempting to roll off to the side or something. I don't love the rule, but it's absolutely been applied consistently for years. For the record, here is the rule itself:
- A rushing defender is prohibited from committing such intimidating and punishing acts as “stuffing” a passer into the ground or unnecessarily wrestling or driving him down after the passer has thrown the ball, even if the rusher makes his initial contact with the passer within the one-step limitation provided for in (a) above. When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down or land on top of him with all or most of the defender’s weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up the passer with the defensive player’s arms and not land on the passer with all or most of his body weight.
