Catching gear isn't bulletproof no matter how you squat. This position might be easier on the knees, but getting a foul tip off a 105 mph fastball directly on your thigh doesn't sound fun either.
I once broke my catcher's cup with a fastball in the dirt, and that was the most miserable looking human I've ever seen.
