A shite take is arguing for the last play to be interference

didn't see the play, but reading the commentary, this is what it sounds like to me.

The runner is restricted to a narrow lane just outside the foul line on a play like that - (assuming there was something like a bunt down the first base line)

The catcher? MUST deliver the ball for a fair territory catch without ANY imposition onto the runner's lane. Otherwise it would be interference.

You CANNOT 'mix-it-up' with the runner in a situation like that - that is almost as bad as not touching 3rd base on the way home with two out.
