If they aren't going to use it, then why have the rule in place?

On what basis are you making this claim? I've got the ball clearly over the stands when there's contact with the fielder's glove. That's not INT. Hell, if the ball is over the stands, the fans can rip it out of the fielder's glove, and it still wouldn't be INT.
Naturally, the commentators threw out a bunch of red herrings: "fans reached out over the field of play," "definitely could have made a play on the ball," blah blah blah. Not INT.
