Well, they would if they knew this rule the way it's being explained.

So, if the batter hits the ball fair and is obstructed with R1 on 1st and tries for a double and is out, the out stands and the runner stays on 3rd.
If however, the batter does not hit the ball and it gets away from the catcher and he gets caught at second, the coach has the choice, runners on 1 and 2 or one out runner on 3.

The catcher can't commit interference. The act which we call obstruction is interfering with the opportunity to hit. I've editted the post anyway.
But what's the rule support for sorting things out when all play has come to an end? If the catcher drops strike three, and everybody thinks it's strike two, at what point has all play come to an end. If he's supposed to run to first, all play can't come to an end until he either does or is put out. Not that I disagree with doing it this way, per se, I just can't imagine the batter going without getting a hit because of obstruction.
