Sounds like the IFR should have been called, but it is still a judgment call - HTBT. Umpires can consider other factors, e.g., wind, skill level of the player(s), in making that judgment.

Just Me - Your comment about the umps "egos" is gratuitous. If they determined that the IFR should have been called, it would have been a very easy fix - just take the batter off 1st and leave the other runners where they are. If they determined that F2 needed more than "ordinary effort" to make the catch, then the call was correct.
