It's more or less of preference and the spec the cage is built to for most installs. For most people it's easier to cut a hole in the thin piece of steel that we call a floor pan use that to get desired fitment then it is to cut off the roof like some people do. If you think about it, cutting a hole into the floor and then replacing it with an even stronger piece of sheet metal sounds better than just welding to the floor. Really, at the end of the day who the hell cares how a cage got in their car as long as it's safe, meets spec, and is cost effective.
