If they protruded a little further, he would look like a plane. Maybe the idea is to reduce road resistance.

Pulled beside em at the light and there was 8” of air between the bars and body. Now, at that point I stopped thinking wth and started thinking about a broken leg on a rainy day.

Initially thought that. No disabled placard and a relatively healthy looking 30 or so year old.

Or wanted to keep them but the wife said "not unless I can use them as a step safely!" because nerf bars ain't always the best way to get in or out of a truck!
