I would chalk this up to unintended positive consequences.
It was one of the first things that I, and my early test riders, talked about a lot. Some described them as SPDs for your hands. I also moved my levers out, and I now really hang the meaty part of my hand right over end of the bar with my pinkies jammed in the pocket without worrying about being injured. Although unlike you, after a couple of months I did end up trimming my bars a little.
Thanks for giving them a try, and great to hear they've improved your ride.
