I think it has to do with packaging, aesthetics, aerodynamics and lowering the center of gravity. Packaging would be to add a manifold or turbo into an area when the engine bay is narrow. Aesthetics or aerodynamics would be to lower the hood height. Similarly, lowering the motor lowers the center of gravity.
