They are trying to get curb leverage without the lever arm. If it is a jointed snaffle, they could literally break the horse's jaw... Not a good option in my book.
You're right, I do see it though.

Part of what makes a curb what it is - the curb chain or strap. If I were
to use a shanked bit (broken or solid mouth) without the strap, I may very

nearly zero experience using an elevator bit, so this is where my knowledge

AND...the weird and all too common use of a curb chain or strap with a
snaffle. What is THAT about??
