Why is it ok for a PU to call early at a base or OBS at base, but not ok for a BU to call OBS at the plate?
Maybe it is the wide range of field the BU has to cover and often such violation is not involved where the play is happening or anticipated, where a play at the plate, the PU is expected to be, well, at the plate with full attention to the runner, ball, defender and plate being in a much smaller viewing window.

I would suppose if the PU was way out of position and not getting the entire view, it would be possible the BU could call OBS, but s/he betting damn well be sure.
