No, that's not the benefit as jackets are too long for that problem to occur and shirts also used to be crotch length (before the advent of separate undergarments) for that to be an issue. the advantage of a fishtail is in comfort regarding that pressure of the waistband is distributed along the natural contour of the small of the back.
