What it certainly does is shortening the distance between BB and grips, all else being equal. Aka. the weighted sum of reach and stack. In my mind, that is the relevant measurement when it comes to frame geometry.
When can always trade effective reach for stack and vice versa with spacers, stems and bar roll. So increasing reach by lowering stack just changes fit, but doesn't gain anything in terms of frame geometry.
