It breaches it because you are not flying IFR and you are not flying VFR either. You can't fly VFR in IFR conditions.
If you are VFR and you enter IFR conditions and you are not equipped or endorsed/licensed for IFR, then you are flying neither and thus you are breaching.
It's about the "rules" not the weather conditions. It's Instrument Flight "RULES," not conditions.
