But the contact could have been avoided as the fielder was behind the bag. So IMO it was interference.

The rule doesn't state the runner has to avoid contact.

sliding late like he did is really no different than sliding out the baseline to try and nip the fielder. It wasn't natural contact and that is what they look for.

(3) The runner must attempt to avoid a collision if he can reach the base
without colliding.

Pretty cut and dry.
