There is always the popular "because it's the right answer" answer too.

I believe the casual out signal when the batter is out by 20ft. is because there is a possibility that F3 was not quite on the base, and a nonchalant signal reaffirms that the BR was truly out, and nothing funny happened. On a can of corn, there is no other outcome than out if the fielder reaches in and pulls the ball out, so no need for a signal.
