The advantage occurs with runners on. The position appears to be (and is in fact by rule) the set, which under FED rules permits F1 to step and throw to a base. That keeps the runner closer to the base.
When F1 is permitted to wind up from that position, he gets a better pitch out of it. That's the advantage.
If he's in the hybrid position and steps and throws to a base, will you balk him? He's legally in the set!
