I think the issue is less being one of interference, and more one of safety. Pits are crowded, and the LAST thing anyone needs is one inadvertent motion by the robot, causing an injury.

This happened at our pits at LSR without the radio when someone forgot to turn off the OI and when we went to make an adjustment, someone leaned over the OI and pushed a Joystick and the robot fell off the cart.

Think of what would happen if someone forgot to turn the OI and RC off when it was radio. At least when there is a tether it is a bit safer and helps prevent some of the stuff that happened.
