I have seen a lot of people with a ball retriever but I never seen anyone carry a sand rake.
My dad carried a sand rank on his bag, and then on his cart, exactly where OPs pic is. Even though in later years rakes were available he always used his, right up until the day he stopped playing. It remains in our garage up north.
He never had a ball retriever, because why would you hold up players. Add the stroke, drop the ball. It’s how I play because of him.

It was about the game how he was taught, and the respect of that course. He would have been 92 this year.
So depending on your golf etiquette, and probably your age, personal rake was just part of the equipment.
