I think it is nicely summed up in this thread. No sense repeating ourselves, since the answers are the same.

Yup, if you need to flush to the ground cut that badly, dig a hole.

Over-all durability of the saw.
Much stronger frame with a full wrap.
I would always rather have one but no show-stopper.

You could compare them to training wheels for a chain saw.

Seriously, they are very useful in some situations on long bar'd saws.

Especially making falling cuts when obstructions require cutting from the off side of the tree, i.e., with bar to left of body.

I like 'em for flushing stumps. homeowners always want stumps cut below ground level. with a full wrap, I can't, and it keeps me up high enough to stay out of the dirt too.
I tell them if they want it lower, I'll stump it for $XXX.oo more
