Downside to "No Lanyard"

Two officials in our area have been doing the "No Lanyard" thing. One abandoned it. The other stubbornly continues the practice.
Observable downside: they just keep the stupid whistle in their mouths all the time. They either never or rarely take the whistle out of their mouths during the course of the game. Verbal communication with players and the officiating crew is extremely curtailed to the extent that going without a lanyard has become a detriment to those we've seen try it.
An "all-too-cool" thing. Just don't do it.
Those of you going without a lanyard. Are you able to overcome that tendancy?
