Strapping your jacket to the carry-on takes time too. And there's usually about 2-3 people in line for the belt. If each of them uses a bin that may add a matter of seconds, not even a single minute. The time argument just doesn't hold water.

I know that when my jacket's in a bin, it's less likely to come out the other end covered in filth.
