Since there are weight classes, I would assume having a better muscle to fat ratio would be better, and not packing uneccesary fat.

You have to eat a lot to build and maintain the muscle size and density they have. Its really hard to eat enough and stay lean so most just get chubby/fat. Plus when you do some of the bizzare strong man lifts (Google atlas stone) it’s probably more comfortable to have some extra padding.
