Another reason you want to be seated on climbs is fewer issues from pogoing on the rear suspension. When everything was a hardtail, a quick uphill sprint out of the saddle made more sense.

That's not another reason, it's the same reason more detailed. Bar-ends had their heyday on top of rigid forks.
