Only time I'll look for the hand is if I know the ball is going OOB and I can't hear the whistle.
But is the upstretched hand any less visible to you than one pointing forward or backward.

My experience is that they tend to put their hand straight up as they sound the whistle. That makes a small difference to a timer going off the visual signal of the official.
