I'm with SAump. At second or third there is a four plus inch high bag catching the back leg on a slide. Effort is required to overslide the base and thus interference. But at home there is nothing to slow the runner. The only way for a runner - ENTITLED to make an effort to achieve his base - can stop on a dime is to break his leg. NOT the intent of the interference rule.
The catcher should lift at receiving the throw on the plate.
IMHO ticky-tacky calling interference unless PU sees intent.
