I thought in real life combat, we don't put safety off until engaging the enemy to avoid accidents. Maybe I'm a bit old school (1990s)? Has the rule been changed recently in combat?
Big thing being sudden ambush from close range and dealing with it, is enough to dive for cover and figure out what is going on, nearest cover and such, and being at the ready out of safe mode with finger off trigger is one less thing to deal with. Also explains, besides ammo usage, why those experienced ones that use Armalites use semi often, the Armalite selector is a pain to move to full auto as it is with a shooting grip, let alone during high stress while under fire.
