When you asked why he would go if he already judged it not to be a swing. That happens everytime a pitch is a ball. When else would you go?!

If the umpire judged a batter had not swung, and the defense (catcher) asked the umpire to go for help, the umpire should do so. However, as stated in the OP, it as the OFFENSE making the request to go for help. No need to go for help, it was judged a No Swing.
