Your shouldn't really need an esd strap when dealing with complete/closed chassis

Obligatory: I've worked on thousands of computers and servers and never worn an ESD strap and never had any issues, though when I've touched a couple $500k+ servers I've definitely considered if maybe I should.

Same, I think it's just one of those things that's persisted from "the old days". Like needing to close recent apps on your phone or needing to charge a new device "for at least 6 hours before using it" and it's really not as much of an issue with modern hardware.

I did know one guy who always wore one and insisted upon everyone else doing so but he was kind of a dork and didn't use it properly anyway.
