one potential advantage of a shorter saddle is slightly increased ‘standability’ when stopped and standing over the top tube of a bike with sloping top tube
can also be an asset when mounting and dismounting on a bike with sloping top tube ... less potential for shorts to catch on nose of saddle (baggy / off-road shorts)
WTB Koda is popular saddle for some riders due to above reasons ; Koda is approx 255 length - compared to similar Volt @ 265 length (going by memory so numbers might be off a tad)
