Short-nosed saddles?

What are the main advantages of a short-nosed saddle? They seem to be popular now. I unintentionally bought one, and I am trying to understand the advantages. An internet search resulted in some vague (and somewhat conflicting) claims.

My wife has a Brooks-S, and the snub-nose apparently was introduced a few hundred thousand years ago when women wore long skirts while cycling. I assume that is not the current intent. However, the prospect of not snagging one's chamois on a saddle nose has an appeal.
