Pistol or dagger in a backpack would probably be hard to take off your bag and find what you're looking for then grab and equip the weapon and put the backpack back on. All the while a Minotaur is charging you in active combat or party members are dodging and weaving blade swings to the left and right of you while orcs charge in. I think a gm would make you a very easy shot if you did that. Just think about trying to ruffle though a big hiking bag that starts on your back to find a knife within multiple pockets while some guy tries to shank you all within a couple seconds. It's definitely harder than just saying some words and it appearing in your hand.

Shop keeper sees you steal something and put it into your bag and demands you empty your bag out in front of the guard who's very busy. Oh, look it's not in the bag. The shop keeper has wasted the guard's time and therefore he gives the shop keeper a boot since he's got to look for real crime and not a paranoid seller losing track of their own stock.

It's super niche still but there's a use or two
