I have to admit my strap is on the camera, but with that lens the strap is more of a fall-back support, in case my hands slip or I otherwise mess up the support. It’s actually far too heavy to dangle round the neck for anything but a grip change or putting in a camera rucksack. And I walk cradling it like a baby! (strap loose about my neck) Same reason I always have the hood attached if its out of the rucksack - a safety measure in case I drop it or knock against something, not on the off-chance of flare.
I still don’t trust it. I’ve got a set of those strap quick release thingummies on both my lens and camera, so swapping the strap back and forth isn’t particularly onerous.
I usually carry mine over the shoulder like a bazooka, using the tripod foot as a handle. This has the side effect of making me highly prominent and also signals to any other nearby gawpers who are desperately pinching at the screens on their iPhones as if that’s going to help them any that I am a Very Serious Photographer, and they aren’t.
