[Star Wars] If disarming one's opponent via telekinesis is the primary tactic in a lightsaber duel, why don't Jedi put lanyards on their lightsaber hilts?

Seems like it would help a lot.

Wouldn't help as much as you think.  

With the lanyard, in the case of a successful telekinetic attack that rips the saber from your hand, instead of simply being disarmed,  you're now disarmed and yanked off balance.  That seems a worse situation than just having your lightsaber on the floor and having to call it back to your hand.  

Better to just practice defending yourself from telekinetic attacks in the first place.
