Roadies ride with their saddles pushed into their asses and their bars slammed down for muh aero gains because they're willing to ruin their bodies for the slightest performance advantage. Of course it's not comfortable at all. Road cycling shapes the rider around the bike, not the bike around the rider.
The drop bar redpill is to have the bar at saddle height so you have a comfy more upright ride with multiple hand positions on the flats or the hoods, but still have the lower drops available for a more aerodynamic upper body position on fast sections.
