The extended vision to the sides does nothing to aid an umpire. In my mask, I can see both of the base coaches and the pitcher at the same time. What else do I need to see?
Nick and others have stated many times that better peripheral vision is one of the reasons a helmet is superior to a mask. I'm not denying that the helmets give you better peripheral vision. But the truth is there is nothing over there that one needs to see.
