Let me first say that I am merely speculating when I comment that it occurs to me that in a perfect world the friction would always be sufficient for the job. There are those extreme cases where perhaps a tool spins or even dislodges from the spindle, and then the momentary slip where the friction was overcome momentarily.
I suspect that the latter is far more common and would include things like tool crashes. The damage to the spindle taper could be significant if the holder were allowed to spin, so perhaps the dogs have always been intended as 'arrestors' rather than 'drivers'
The dogs may be overkill for this but they are used as an orientation device when you need to orient the tooling such as when back boring.
