You seem to be saying it doesn't increase speed, but it does increase speed.
Regarding the wrist snap, I believe that consciously trying to snap the wrist is not only a waste of time but will actually make you slower. That doesn't mean the wrist snap isn't important - it is. But it's important in the sense that it needs to be fast, and executed with a great deal of suddeness. That requires keeping it loose so the other parts of the arm can create its speed.
Think of it this way: I think we'd all agree that keeping the wrist stiff, or holding it "cupped" so it can't move, will produce the least speed. After that would come using the puny wrist muscles to try to move it. You just can't move it that fast consciously. But if you keep it loose, and get the upper arm to slow down so the lower arm can whip by, that violent whipping motion will create the fastest (and thus most beneficial) wrist snap.
