Actually it's easy to deliberately fumble out of bounds

Maybe. But if you deliberately fumble the ball out of bounds, or the QB throws it out of bounds HE is the one providing the impetus. In this case the impetus toward and over the goal line was provided by the Seattle player.

Impetus always comes from the last possessor, not necessarily the last guy to touch it. In this play impetus came from Dallas, just like in any other fumble.
