It's a good question, I guess like to have a more road-focus shape than a proper dirt drop bar as the shape is more awkward if you intend to ride on the hood predominately.
Yeah they ain't great on the hoods. In a straight swap (didn't move my stem etc.) I find the "drops" - the little nook really, not the very ends - really comfy.
