Because when worn correctly (as is already required by rule which makes this change unnecessary), the strap holds the helmet in place to provide the maximum amount of protection to the player's head.
It also eliminates the constant "accidental" falling off of the helmet while the player is still involved in a play. Don't know why HS doesn't have it, but NCAA doesn't because their players are adults.
