The article that mentions the use of this exercise by weightlifters has already been debunked many times. It was just an extra exercise to unload the spine and give the back a breather.
I've heard that as well. The same could be said for Romanian Deadlifts and Russian Squat routines. It doesn't change the fact that this is the commonly used name for this exercise though.
