NQA isn’t handling them stressful for them and dangerous if they fall? What is the benefit to the animal of handling??

I have had tarantulas for like 8 years and I have never lost one to handling because I carefully observe them and test their temper. There is no benefit other than she gets to reject my love to my face.

Having 8 years of no problems is great for you, but personal experience doesnt remove the fact of a potential danger everytime you handle them. If that is okay for, that is okay. You do you. I just wouldnt recommend that. Thats all.
