Instead its illegal because you are holding the ball. Every move where the ball is stuck for more than like a second is a foul.

What if one guy just bounced the ball on his head constantly while the other 10 players surround him tightly?

Not illegal in theory but easily countered by the enemy team just encircling them or forming a wall. Pushing the enemy team out of the way of the ball bouncer would be a foul.
Also the referee could just call it unsportsmanlike or obstruction of play and give a free kick to the enemy. The referee is basically always allowed to call any bullshit.

I think it’s not a foul if you’re using your whole body. So you just need really big guys to slowly push the wall. And if you can’t bribe a referee what are you even doing playing football?
