Most 49er helms don't use them, but one or two do (the danish for example).  Sure you save a bit of time, but most have kust learnt to hook themselves on with their tiller hand.

they may not have problems, but they still take longer to get yourself sorted.  Ok, in boats other than the 49er the crew can take an extra second to clip on, but when you have the mainsheet you haven't got much time to get ready.
