They are of no concern as long as PU feels sufficient amount of time has passed to warrant "Time" being called for the batter.
If it takes that long for a play to develop, then F6 or F4 need to learn to work quicker. This is the opposite. Still don't want to be the 10th defensive person on the field.
Also, that is a completely different issue. Now, we are talking about a safety issue. Especially, if the pitcher decides to deliver the ball with an unsuspecting batter or catcher. Not even close to a related issue.
One involves safety and the other involves not gaining an unfair advantage.
