What needs to be waterproof? Maybe the dye marker but the rest can ride in the mesh bag without issue.
Nothing -- all those things have been on hundreds of dives already. (Well, the signal mirror doesn't like it -- the delamination you see is from those hundreds of dives, plus possibly some mechanical damage)
It's more about keeping it organized and lightweight, than keeping it protected -- adding a separate snap to every item would add bulk and weight and expense, and having them all "loose" in a pocket, even clipped off, makes it that much more annoying to fish through the pocket for anything else.
It just makes them a compact bundle, easily stowed, managed, and inspected as a unit.
