I think lowering is just for looks, I doubt there are any other advantages (but lots of disadvantages) over Mr Volvo’s design.
Everyone to their own though.

Lowering the car drops the centre of gravity as i'm sure you know already Alan. Also as pointed out above, the lower springs tend to be stiffer reducing body roll and improving weight transfer onto the tyres.
The compromise is a harsher ride but even Volvo lowered their rally/race cars so there must be some advantages, whether we percieve them or not.
