What is the purpose of a setback seatpost?

I get it, to sit back, but why? Are they meant for people who wouldn't fit on their frame if they had a straight post? Is there a technical advantage I am missing, more weight over the wheel? Seems like if anything, you would want to be further forward for better power transfer, not back further.....
