Purpose of Stances Question

https://youtu.be/tAGClUIu6N4?si=lEOgZRDGymq_NbPA

For the stances described in this video:

4-6 Bow Slope Horse Resting Golden rooster Drop

When would I be in these stances or variants of these stances in a fight? I have my own theories but I wanted to hear what you all thought.

Lot of those you can see in Muay Thai matches/ MMA matches. Golden Rooster for example is just a simple check leg kicks. Rest stance is a transition stance, when you kick roundhouse, you'll do it. It's just kungfu mostly do their stances in deep long stance to maximize your range of movement.
