In many cases this is true. But think about the case where you are
scanning identical items. It would nice to be able to type 10 and then
scan the item instead of scanning each identical item. Suppose you want
to route the item somewhere. You need to be able to enter the routing
information. How about using a scanner to log in? You would probably
want to type a password.
If you just want to scan an item and then go to the next item and scan
it, then not being able to tell where the input is from is fine. But in
all the other cases you probably just want the scanned information
going to a specific field (container) and it would be nice not to have
to force the focus to that field with an addition mouseclick or tab(s)
etc.
