It depends on the person and the bike setup. I have a flatbar with the handlebars set a couple inches below the saddle. I also have bar ends that allow me to stretch myself out even further and also keep my hands in a neutral position. Often, people have tall stems on these bikes that do have them too upright for long rides.

I think it takes a willingness to mess around with the setup of any bike you get in order to be comfy on it for long stretches.
