~~My best bet is it's intended for cases of "spread legs" (i.e. thighs being wide apart) where the rest of the legs are not quite spread (most importantly when squatting or having the legs bound in a way that resembles squatting). That would still mean widespread misuse.~~
My second bet, and this feels more relevant actually, is in the dance sense of "open hips", i.e. having to do with the rotation of the legs (toward the lateral sides of the body), not the openness of the leg position.
