One of the main reasons for the de-hooker is it allows you to keep the bait in the best possible condition. The main thing that damages bait is believe it or not...not the hook, (unless you hook it deep) it's just handling it. This tool allows you to keep the handling down to a minimum, thus keeping your bait in as pristine condition as possible, thus catching you more fish. Forceps do work but it's more difficult to unhook bait on a sabiki without having to handle it. The other tool also known as a disgorger is just not good at all for unhooking a bait and keeping it alive.
