And when your fraught with 40+ foot theropods[whom, on top of their 
size, would have probably been hunting them in packs] could 'hack', 
'slice', 'crunch', etc, through that neck, holding it high and away 
from them seems a like good idea . .
Albeit, doesn't draw any correlation to plesiosaurs[ tanystropheus's 
kin, also] reason for adopting a long neck, as predators can attack it 
from all directions, as a plesiosaur itself could attack IT'S prey, as 
well.
