I have those line poles that look like the strap is bolted in at the top with a fake shiny plastic bolt. Well one day I looked at my poles while skiing adn realized one of the bolts fell off and my strap was gone, so I took the other bolt off with a wrench. Probably gunna make some makeshift straps so I have them when I need them but for now, no straps.
In generaly though for me:
Groomers/bumps/general cruising= straps
Powder= straps
Trees= no straps
Park= no straps
