Maybe, because EB is the Offensive Coordinator, he is attending to the wide receivers, the running backs, the tight ends, and offensive line, because they are an important part of the offense too, and his Boss, the Head Coach, is already taking care of the QB in-game coaching.
There is also nothing that says EB doesn't discuss aspects of the QB play while Mahomes is on the field, like not reacting to a certain coverage or missing intermediate routes because he is too focused on the deep routes (those are just examples for the sake of examples) and when Mahomes comes to the sidelines, it's Reid who follows up with Mahomes, and EB addresses every other unit that makes up the offense.
It seems like some people are acting like EB just stands around and holds a play sheet so he can call the plays into Mahomes after Reid tells him what to call, and does NOTHING ELSE.
Being the OC is more than just dealing with the QB. And since Reid has a great deal of experience coaching QBs, and it is Reid's offensive system that the QB is running, it makes sense that EB would defer to Reid. But to assume EB has no input regarding QB play is an assumption that cannot be proven, or disproven because we do not have first hand knowledge of what EB and Reid discuss during the game.
