This does have a clip. But the clip is pretty high up, leaving a fair amount of loose-hanging hose, and if I slide it to the bottom of its travel, then bringing the hose up pinches it against the clip. The clip is secure enough that getting the hose in and out would be a bit annoying while riding. I don't want to have to think about it.
With the magnet, I can just grab at the end to release it, and get it back in roughly the right spot for it to be retained.
