I have found that, also.

I'm always reading my own part & at least one other.  Or are you
suggesting that all the parts be memorized?

I can't recall ever intentionally memorizing all parts for a choral piece I'm singing in, but I would generally learn all four parts for any piece where I'm the choral director, and if I later have occasion to sing the same piece then I know all the parts. It's really quite helpful.

There's also plenty of pieces which I've sung from memory both as tenor and bass. That's helpful, too, except that if my attention wanders I'm liable to accidentally sing the wrong part....
