This way, an ODB cannot get nearer the plate and try to get familiar with the timing of the pitch.

Being behind the batter in the ODBC would put batter in
same distance from plate as being in the ODBC on other
side of the plate. No advantage as far as being nearer
the plate. Or are you just stating the reason for the
ODBC?
