Then the arm pulls in to fully contract the lat. Most people just grab heavy weight and just pull on that shit, which accomplishes nothing, except for bit of a bicep pump.

Good explanation. It's all about thinking through the rep. Not about just getting the dumbbell up.
Or, if you're lucky, pull out your shoulder.
Generally, I hate bad form. Period. It does nothing for you.
I'm actually one of those weirdos who sometimes benches with straps.
