On a thrown ball (i.e., non-batted) it is only interference with any other fielder if it is an attempt to prevent an out, which means intent is required.

Not necessarily true. Rule 7.6.P THE BATTER SHALL NOT:
4. Interfere with a play at home plate.
No mention of intention. No mention of batter's box. No mention of ability to make an out.
