It's how the bike shop had it set up for the test ride. I agree with you, bars/hoods are a little too far up for me, if I went ahead and bought it I'd get them shifted.
The reach felt fine on the test ride, I just had a look at the seatpost and was alarmed that it was too short, I think an element of that is the enormous stack height of the saddle... the saddle height was c.2cm too high when I rode it, but i think with a lower stack saddle it might all even out.
Hadn't realised there was a bike fit thread, I will ask there sa well.

Is that how you’ve got it set-up?
Looks fine, seatpost not an issue, plenty of length there. I’d go shorter stem (or shorter reach bars) if I were you, looks like you’re trying to reach too far and hence tilting your bars back. But if that’s comfy go with it.
With that spacer stack you defo wouldn’t want a smaller size…
