Aren't the words in pink your original statement?

Yes.
I stand by my "I stand by my original statement" statement.
I really don't know WTF you are asking.
AFAIK, there were two questions in this thread:
1) What should the correct call have been? I have no opinion on this. I didn't see the play and it's been debated ad nauseum here.
2) Why didn't the officials make a call? Options:
a) there was no call to make (see question 1)
b) they didn't see it
c) they were surprised by the play and an explanation did not spring immediately to mind. We are all taught it's better to miss something that happened rather than call something that didn't happen. A "that looked ugly so it had to be something" call (that turns out to be wrong) is going to be a major black mark on an official.
I'm only suggesting that option C is a reasonable explanation for the no-call.
I don't really give a dam* whether you think it is or not.
