The no-lanyard thing, in my experience, is more of a "look what I can do" thing than anything else. Perhaps the odd official finds it useful, or is so capable that they just do it out of habit and you'd never know.
But by and large, it seems like more of a game. And we're not supposed to be playing games out there.
Just my $0.02
