I leave them on. On Lostock Junction, where I operate, a lot of the tracks are an uncomfortable reach for skewers so we have magnets.
Also, if you have diaphragms or corridor connections you can't always get to the top and it's handy to be able to grab the trip pin from the side.
I will admit to having a number of the original Kadee K series (mechanical) couplers that have lost their pins.
