Because it's defined in Rule 2.00 but just for you....

INTERFERENCE

pertinent part is

(b) Defensive interference is an act by a fielder which hinders or PREVENTS A BATTER FROM HITTING A PITCH.

Doesn't seem broad to me, it's actually pretty specific. It's exactly what the catcher has done by stepping out in front of the plate. If'n he's still in there ready to hit I gots (b) and I be plyin 6.08(c).
