    I think those really had a surge in popularity when gas prices went way up in the 2000s. The two main benefits to those are better aerodynamics and fuel efficiency (marginal gains, obvs), plus the ability to lock the thing rather than having to leave anything you are carrying up for grabs.

    I do think you're on to something, though.
