It's always context dependent, your version is fairly extreme in that the GK wouldn't be in a position to jump and use his hands to maybe make a theoretical save, but a player in offside position would be interfering with the play. It would be up the ref team to make a subjective call.
Maignan was pointing towards Dumfries almost before the ball had hit the net, it was clear interference even if the GK didn't stand a chance.
I agree, my example and this situation don't compare. I was just wondering about where the line is. At what point does actual interference matter?
Honestly I think the biggest controversy about this was how long the VAR took. They spent multiple minutes to make this decision which seems a bit crazy.
