Wow they did that on purpose? For me personally it wouldn't make that huge of a difference because my spring rates are so high plus its just a daily driver. What are you using your car for? Its not very logical to me. But maybe those people are on really mushy ebay coilovers? Or they're so hardcore that they had their cars professionally balanced before a big track day. But when in doubt, just make everything level.

People lower the passenger side of the car in order to level it. This is because the weight of the motor is distributed more on the drivers side than the passenger side; or it could be that after a long time the frame gets a little tweaked and the car does not sit level. Doing this 'leveling' is purely cosmetic though.
