You're assuming that everyone uses the black flags because they don't want to be seen reaching for it. I'm sure some use them because they like the look of them blending in with the pants. And I could see a situation coming up with a fumble where the official reaches for the beanbag but then rules that there was not a fumble.
And I don't think it would take too long for teams to realize that the white ball sticking out of your pants is the flag; it isn't some big secret.
