Telling people to squat at the bottom has helped teach thousands of people to dead-lower correctly. A deadlift is nothing more than a Romanian deadlift (RDL) until the bar passes the knees, at which point you squat. As with any squat, the knees and butt must move down. People confuse this and forget the squat part, which causes major issues.
Look at it this way: Assuming you're not a contortionist, forgetting to squat down will cause you to exhaust your range of motion at the hips before the bar has touched down. With no more hip flexion to give, further movement has to come from somewhere. And if your hips and knees aren't moving but the bar is still travelling down, that's your spine doing the work!
You can't lift massive loads safely if the movement comes from the sacroiliac (SI) or lumbar spine instead of the hips. You'll also have to readjust everything to be in good position to pull your next rep off the floor; either that or crush your back picking it up in the same way you just set it down in.
That's more work, or more wear and tear, to get the same job done. – JL Holdsworth, Geoff Girvitz
