>They have NO AFFECT on the game if both players are rolling the same way. They will not affect the outcome of the match, and it won't affect other players.

It's fair to say more thinking time is an advantage to the better player. Thus better players will be more likely to win matches that use a fast-roll device. (I have no idea how to quantify it.) In addition to the lesser player in that match being at a disadvantage, so are the players in the other matches; the winners of those matches are more likely to face a better opponent.

If a device saves, say, two seconds per roll, then why not reduce the delay time by two seconds? It solves the problem I described and it makes the tournament move faster.
