if you're trolling you got me I'm triggered
they obviously did that for better cooling
personal tip : 2 years ago bought two of those Ikea Alex 9 drawers and put my pcs on on of them, best decision ever my room is a dust sucking vacuum and I barely have any dust in my cases now (all intake have filters obviously) but still placing them higher than your desk is something I would not go back from
noise is also better as long as you have minimal or full-on liquid cooling but then if your pc is all air cooled placing it lower makes things even worse dust-wise

Its not pretty in the photo but it wont look like that in your case, studio camera lighting to show defects is meant to highlight everything.
I would never see it with my setup.
