It needs to be used for spotting punts going OOB too. Some 60 year old looking to the skies and then giving it his best guess shouldn't be the way

For punts out of bounds.  There is an official that stands behind the punter and tracks the ball, marking the spot it hits OOB.  The official downfield walk up the sideline until the line of ball flight intersects the sideline.  There is nothing wrong with that spotting mechanic
