Not once have I ever had a single issue by leaving the bat where it is. So why remove it?
I prefer not to have an on-deck batter run into an area that may soon become the site of a play. I can get there quicker and get rid of the bat. I prefer that trained adults take care of this rather than waiting for a 12 year old girl to do it.

Just because you have not had an issue with it doesn't mean that others haven't. This issue doesn't just fall out of the clear blue sky. It arises because situations arise.
