The bike looks great! But why choose the low handlebar?

Especially since this isn't a sports bike or a mountain bike (without mudguards, imagine).

Do people really fancy being hunched over during their commute?

People all over the world favor looking cool over being comfortable. Americans extend that to bicycles as well.

To look cool, you want to be visible, so I would think looking cool is harder with low handle bars. (https://www.google.com/search?q=cycle+chic&tbm=isch)

Half of the bikes in those photos have drop bars.
