Why would a person who is already at a disadvantage when assuming the start position in a deadlift want to increase the disadvantage by artificially lengthening his legs even more? This makes no sense.

Deadlift Variations
Hello Rip. For someone who may not be ideally built for deadlifts (short arms, small hands) whose back is nearly horizontal when in correct setup position for the conventional deadlift, do you think variants like deficit deads and stiff leg deads would be useful as a lighter day movement? Or do you think it would put the trainee into an even less mechanically efficient position making it hard to use effectively??

Many people's back is nearly horizontal in the correct deadlift setup. Have you actually done the movements you are asking about?
