Point taken, but My answer to this situation is that I leave the hood on at
all times, including when in the bag.  saves fiddling with them completely.
I find Tupperware/Mr. Peanut can caps of various sizes fit just about any
hood to keep bag contents off the lens elements.

My guess is that the real reason they do that is because the cameras
are easy to put away like that and unless they are actually seeing
flare in the VF they can't be bothered to snap them on and off again.

The hoods on most of those L-series Canon lenses are massive. I find
them a PITA when putting the camera in and out of the bag, for sure.
