Does that have anything to do with the type of call here?, that's the only reason I have for referencing a play at home plate where this happens most often.

HUH? BR reached (passed) 1B safely & that's how the call is made. An attempted tag of BR before he reaches 1B means nothing here - a proper appeal is required to obtain an out.
