For the same reason most of those same people aim the nose of their saddle at their headset. Because they're idiots.

When I had my Deda CronoNero Lowriders, I found they had a sweet spot (for me anyway) when they were angled down just slightly, mostly due to the flat shape of the top/elbows being angled backward and putting my wrists in a bad position. There's no real excuse for what you're asking though. Some people are just dumb and will argue how comfortable their bikes are 'til the death.

I would pretty much guarantee that NONE of the wonky looking bikes out there with jacked bar angles ever see a track.
