It's actually easier to take off and put on than a mask. One hand for both on & off, and no hat to worry about.
My observation has been that at the D1 College level, the first 2 years helmets were being used, they weren't taking them off for calls. Then, in year 3, they started taking them off just like a mask. I can only speculate as to why.
