Why are bass drivers elevated in floor standers?

Seems like nearly all floor standing speakers made in the last several years elevate the bass or mid/bass driver to about knee height leaving a large empty space below. Does this make a significant acoustic improvement?

I've done this for years,even before ARC.To much air may vibrate the tubes.I also mount my muffin fans so they don't add vibations to the amp.My tubes last long,and I
even use tube amps for tv audio a lot of the time too.
