What is more real life applicable, a high or a low bar squat?

I'd argue low bar. Are they trying to "place the bar higher" as if they are above power lifters?
I'm not sure I understand- olympic lifters probably don't care much about 'real life' applicability, but instead olympic lifting applicability. I can only assume they feel high bar placement helps with that.
