It just seems to me, that the batter needs to be aware of the play developing around him. Just like a runner can't run blindly to a base and interfer with a fielder making a (the 1st) play on a ball or just stand on 2B and have a line drive hit him, etc.
Although the batter's interference rule doesn't explicitly prohibit this, the purpose of the rule is to prevent the batter from giving base runners an advantage. In this case, the batter's action then inaction, gave the runner an advantage. With two outs, call the batter out; less than that, the runner is out.
