It's an opportunity to rest, get their breathe back and let their team mates do the same plus set up the ground for a behind. Often to get the ball in a scoring position they have to do a heap of running just prior.

You're also giving the oppo a rest too so it's no advantage, all it's doing is taking away from your routine, it's arguably the most important aspect of the game and getting that right.

The second part is more important.

20sec is fine. Players stare at the screen for 10sec to waste time fairly regularly, it needs to stop.

Why not keep it at 30 but stop the clock. Umpire has a signal for 'shot on goal', timekeeper starts the shot clock and stops the game clock, until the ball hits the boot. Then it's not time wasting.

Do they want 20 seconds purely to speed up the game more?

Why wouldn't their routine entail taking the 30 seconds? I think most players rely on the umpires warning rather than look at the screen.
