Maybe for high end racers that really need to reduce all the drag they can, otherwise get your body lower for an aero position. You need to watch out with narrow bars. I tried them, 38cm vs. usual 44cm, for a few months and I remember weird back pains developing. So I'm not good with narrow bars but others may be fine
