Does it have to do with the attendant paperwork? Declaring an emergency means a whole bunch of paperwork. The few times I've had a potentially serious problem, ATC treated it as a potentially serious situation. In one case it required rerouting landing airliner traffic. And, declaring an emergency, for the pilot, means you can do pretty much anything you need to, such as breaking regulations, to save the day. Isn't that what we're taught? 

What paperwork?  This is one of those urban legends that just won't die.
