Magnetic Belt Clip/Holster

I was wondering why HTC decided to go with the velco belt holster for the Touch Pro as opposed to something easier to work like a button or whatever.

I really liked my Mogul holster with the magnetic stap as it made getting to the phone a snap. However i read that HTC decided not to go with the magnetic strap for the Touch Pro because it could interfere with the stylus auto on operation. The thing is i tried using the holster but my phone never randomly turns or even when im taking out or putting back the phone.

Now I cant think of any reason besides the stylus operation that could be affected by the holster magnet, and it doesnt seem like it would cause any permanent damage to phones as the mogul never had issues with it. Its also not as if the magnets would lose power or whatever since proximity to other magnets dont affect the power of the magnets in the span of years. Im just wondering is there something Im missing here? Or are magnets really ok, but HTC was just being precautious. Doubt they were being stingy since most of the other accessories seem to be of relative high quality.
