For me at least, the scan and assess is an important drill as part of the *holstering* routine rather than the post shooting routine, if that makes sense. Assessing damage to the target post-shoot is far different and a separate action completely from assessing your environment before re-holstering your weapon. For most people in most situations, the latter might be less useful, but that does not make it movement for movement's sake.
Much of what we train for is based on anecdotal/what-ifs, but in this instance I've been in one situation where there was no way I was going to re-holster until I let every body know I was watching them.

Thanks
For many of us the "hands high" stance is taught as "field interview" stance when you are talking to someone and then need to draw - hands folded up near your chest. I see the utility in this, although I've never drawn from there in the field.
