Maybe they think they get lower oil temps?

I wouldn't do it. Why let oil drip down and road debris splash up?

Default I drove my car without the belly pan after an oil change for 2-3 days...
I experienced cooler temps and faster cool down. however at high speed the car is not as stable and you experience alot more spool noise, which are all pretty obvious affects.
