I know it's mostly just a difference of the medial canthal tendons length and positioning but what's the point of it?

Most genetic features are a result of evolutionary adaptation, so are different medial canthus types a result of that or are they just a benign deformity like green eyes

Everyone in my family has a downturned medial canthus so I'm used to seeing it but whenever I get around other people I realize almost nobody has it
