The last airline that I flew for was the only one that included this in simulator recurrents. If others did so as well, then incidents like this could have been avoided.
At Aberdeen, Europes busiest Heliport, the airspace between 500ft and 4000ft can at times be peppered with numerous helicopters just East and North of the airfield. So yes, I agree not a rush as in procedure wise but for the ATC and Pilot to go where directed that very much needs done fairly promptly to thread the needle to less busy airspace, but I can't imagine that would overwhelm regulars to the airfield.
