No. These are body straight and vertical and just letting it go. I've seen it as you say which makes sense on heavy lifts.With heavy deadlifts, it's a controlled drop. The lifter's hands should remain on the bar and guide it to the floor. However, to the untrained observer, it looks and sounds like a drop.
My max deadlift is around 600 pounds and I consider myself to be a shitty deadlifter. I know several guys who pull in the 800-900 pound range and not single one slowly lowers the weight to the floor. It's not required in competition and is dangerous to attempt.
