I don't think commercial growers with thousands of plants bother too
much with nipping of the tips.

But don't most commercial growers also grow determinates, which don't
need side-shooting?

I have never subscribed to this idea of side shoot nipping, but I do nip out
the tops when they are about 5 feet. I always have good crops of medium to
large sized tomatoes which is how we like them. Just my 2 penneth.
