Ex-army here, combat medic. We do it for a few reasons.
1. Prevent the glass from getting scratched and shattered during movements.
2. Glass is reflective and the glint can make you stand out.
3. Reduce accidental button presses.
4. Easier to push out the arm and see the time when a rifle is being held in an aiming position.
5. Cultural reinforcement.
Not everyone does it, not even in high-speed units.
