I rode it with drops for well over 10 years. Road riding is not new to me. I am also well aware of the lean angles that can be achieved on a road bike, or mountain bike with slicks, as a matter of fact I used to roadrace motorcycles so crankin' off some crazy fast corners is one of the things that attracts me to bikes of all types to begin with.

The quote you have taken from me was "why would it be dicey?" As in more dangerous or less controlled, not why do YOU like it more.
You and the vast majority of road riders may very well prefer the skater/ downhill skier position.....does that make it better/safer/more controled? No. Are you more comfortable with it? Yes Obviously.
