Yeah, plus cooling.
(The iMac Pro, which never existed in HDD configuration, used that room for a much better cooling system instead.)
But, this really felt like a solution in search of a problem. If you can't make it thinner without a weird hump like that, and if people don't really notice the thinness much anyway, consider not making it thinner.

Right.
It still has the same drawbacks, in a way — no RAM upgrades for you.
But it does have the benefit of being an all-around nice look, no matter the angle.
The nerd in me wants it to me thicker in order to allow RAM and SSD upgrades, but almost anyone would never need that, and I'm not sure how much thicker (and clunkier) it'd have to be to allow for that.
