Causes problems. One is when wrapping the strand (between the strand and hardline) you are putting sharp enough bends to change the characteristics of the drop wire which will undoubtedly (in time) cause a service call to be generated. This only 1 example.
Another example is it looks like sh!t.
Provided you did your job correctly and used a SPAN CLAMP to attach the messenger to, wrapping will provide no more protection but causes construction headaches as well.
The photos are an extreme. Rarely does a tap get pulled (broken) off the strand IF the tap is attached to the strand correctly to begin with.
