Yes, I would rule differently because it is not the same situation.
This is a player who really isn't even an ex-runner. The play involving R2 ended at 2B. The retired runner is not required to get off the field of play in any specific time frame or manner. The only requirement of R2 is to stay away from active play. R2 failed to do this and impeded the defenses ability to make a play on another runner.
R1 is done.
