Other uses for handheld
Nobody has mentioned that handheld is portable in the sense that you can take in other boats., or monitor onshore if you're expecting someone to call you when they launch or get close to your anchorage. I used to take mine in my jet ski in a waterproof bag, same for kayak, canoe. My cell phone is/was useless once it gets dunked, so I never wanted to take it.
