The move was solely to save time. Because they intentionally didn't make any correct animations for the body. They used all the cheats they could do. No real time reflections. The mirrors are all fake. So they didn't have to actually animated 3rd person mode correctly. Go and find a mirror. And watch V's mouth not work. While the characters talk. The option should have been there. Because popping in and out of the head would have helped with the players getting a connection to V.
Remember how actors always say the eyes are very important. And if they wear something over them. it makes it harder for them to give emotions. Times that by 100. with only hearing their voice. It's why lots of people are really harsh on Johnny and V. 3rd person Cut scenes where needed, if for anything, at minimum.
