Grabs and holds are distractions from our freedom of movement. I have found that people do grab you in awkward situations, sometimes to stop your movement, but also sometimes to stop their own stumbling or falling movement. Tenkan and Irimi are tailormade training tools for this type of life situation and it remains an unpredictable part of your life, so you can never say that you have learned it and mastered it and can set it aside for some other thing. My two cents.
