The only time I’ve seen people rappelling and their rope not be free is with some extremely long drops and that is mainly to negate the weight of the rope on the rappel device. Too much can basically brake the rappel.If I’m to take a cue from every other application where rappelling is used, they all have a free hanging line below them. I’m sure there’s a good reason why they don’t keep the rope with them.
