Was at a party and saw someone wearing these. What purpose do they serve? Is having your socks show really that bad?
The apparent lack of socks lends a more casual look to a person, as seen with boat shoes, low top sneakers, and loafers. However, going sockless is a sure way to make your shoes smell terrible. So instead of picking one or the other, you just cut down on the sock.

Ruins the 'casual' look you're going for when you take your shoes off and have these little things on.

In the same sense that any good-looking casual outfit is defeated by the very effort put into it, yes.

Yes.

If alternative is not wearing socks with low tops/boat shoes. you know you can just take these off while taking off your shoes maybe?

This is why I wear them. With shoes that have a particularly low cut and would look terrible with a pair of regular clunky ankle socks
