Notice nobody, NOBODY arguing for such a call to be made.
With the benefit of replay, I can see that his foot is probably 2 inches out of the box (only his heel has to be touching the line) at the time of contact. You expect an umpire to get that in real time? Especially since you have to see the foot at the time of contact, not a second later (since if the foot's in the air at contact, it's a legal play).
I choose to take my direction in this type play from the ML umpires who, wisely, IMO, don't bother with this kind of nonsense.
