I have a pretty big drop between my saddle and stem, compared to most,



............but certainly not the worst that I've seen in this forum. Even I, sometimes start wondering if I have it all wrong on my bike when I see my own pics of it, but the thing is, I feel very comfortable with the amount of drop I have been riding with since the 80's despite the big gap of non-bicycle riding years in between. One thing I notice is my ability to avoid weighting the bars too much even at the lowest position. There seems to be some muscle memory in my body to support the weight of my upper body, using muscles in my torso. I think seemed to have retained this ability because I also ride sport motorcycles with low bars. in the intervening years when I stopped riding bicycles for a while. It also must help that my body proportions are of long legs and arms and whortish torso. Maybe my case explains why some bikes are set up with saddles and stems that look almost impossible different in height for some people.
