There are no rules for saddle heights and handlebar position for experienced riders.
The more you ride, the more you adjust geometries to personal taste, better performance, less discomfort, any reason really.
A common mistake is when people think saddles should still let their feet tip toe touching the ground.
That is why majority of novice and occasional riders have their saddles way too low, forcing their knees to bend too much.
When a bike is stopped, the rider is supposed to dismount with their feet on the ground, not stay on their saddle.
