Because then they wouldn't call it until 7,8,or 9 seconds.
I usually don't count 3 seconds. It's just a matter of
"He's been in there too long." The longer the time, the harder it would be to estimate. 3 seconds is good. It gives us freedom to easily make the call or not, as needed to clean up the game, or let the flow continue.
