OTOH...
One only needs to look at the somewhat recent B777 thrust rundown with BA to see the value of letting the First Officer carry on...in this way the Commander has the option of keeping a sharp eye out for potential problems...and, for retracting the flaps just a tad to actually stretch the glide...which saved their bacon, rather big time.
IE: Captains...don't just grab the pole in the earliest instance, use your superior knowledge and experience for the benefit of all concerned.
And...why not?
