Isnt the lack of bouncing from the pros just an experience thing?
- it could get kicked away from the opposition when it is in the air (although not sure if that is allowed any more?!)
- It could hit a random divot and go somewhere else - why risk it?
Here
A goalkeeper has three (3) steps to put it back the ball in play, once they have picked up the ball. A keeper cannot bounce the ball or put it down and pick it up again - resulting in an indirect free kick. Goalies can take 3 steps with the ball and must release it within six (6) seconds.
That comes from American indoor court soccer site, FFS

The opposition can't kick the ball away while the goalkeeper is bouncing it because the goalie hasn't yet released the ball
