I get what your saying, but it does not need to be physical force. Extortion is considered use of force and it doesn't require a physical threat. Extortion can be threats of violence, or things like reputational harm.
Maybe there's something I'm missing here like a very specific definition for the EA, but a physical threat isn't required for something to be considered a use of force.
