Besides the other common sense issues, simply because is it not why the umpire is there. No matter how you want to pose it, if the umpire needs to do anything which draws their attention away from the game they are umpiring, it is something the umpire shouldn't be doing.
The players are there to play their game on their field with their equipment, let them play the game on their field with their equipment.
Then there is always the question of why is the PU hanging around the plate while there is an on-going play.
