The half cock on a Series 80 like the 1991A1 is of course something of a different animal. It still traps the hammer if the hammer slips while being cocked, so it retains its original purpose. But its additional use as a decocking position is unique (in contrast, the hammer on a 1911 other than a Series 80 should not fall from half cock when the trigger is squeezed). To make decocking even safer, the height of the Series 80 half cock is lower than the height of other 1911 half cocks.

Why would one be lowering the hammer on a 1911 with a round chambered?
