Seriously I don't have long enough finger nails to reliably snag a pin and pull it.
Also with my old machines there is no place for the pins to go except the pot pie tin I keep near the machine. If I did it your way there would be pins all over the place. That would be a sticky situation for sure.

hmmmmm ... good point and, of course, no pun intended. but i couldn't sew w pot pie tin or anything else in the way on the left side of my moving work. different strokes & all that. the pleasure derived from the past-time is all that really matters isn't it?
