The Visor acts as a control for Scott. The mental block on his brain does not allow control over his power that he should have. If he used an inhibitor bracelet, when he removed it he would not have the ability to choose the size of his beams. This is why the visor is used instead. The size and width of his beams are controlled on the side of the visor and in the fingertips of his gloves. Allowing him various combinations of X,Y,Z axis of the beam. With the inhibitor he would have no such control. If however he gained that control again he would have no need for an inhibitor or a visor.
Another theory I have is, the inhibitor would keep him from absorbing energy while it was on his arm. So after taking the bracelet off in battle or drastic cases, he would have to wait to absorb energy before he could fire his concussive blast. Remember his body does not produce energy for the blast, it just converts the absorbed energy into the beam.
