This seems a good idea to me as it must reduce the stress on the ball

Obviously the 'stiff' pipe must be clipped just before the flexible
pipe run starts.

I often wonder why the 'continentals' do this and the Brits in
general do not.

This Brit does as a matter of course. I think you are spot on.
