Simple as with most rules.

The helmet issue has not become an insurance problem YET. If the insurance companies say Your premium will increase by xx dollars if coaches do not wear a helmet in the coaches box

Guess what

A new rule will surface.

Amateur baseball unfortunately is governed by insurance that's why we have all these safety rules to begin with ie; the FPSR etc.
