Default Lower rear contorl arms, what is their purpose?

Why do people swap out there stock lower control arms? I am wondering if i should buy some bomz rear lower control arms? How much is something like that worth? Are these adjustable?

replacing the rear LCAs is more of a cosmetic thing.
next to zero weight savings, and no performance difference over stock arms.

Some ppl get aftermarket ones so they can run rear sway bars.
