Snake oil?
If it's done for any other reason then
that there is no 8-Ohm output or 4 Ohm
speaker available,.. it's snake oil, yeah.

I read somewhere (wish i could find it now) that it improved dampening.
You mean damping and yes it will increase the damping factor. Proponents of
the SET however prefer the 'improvement' of low damping factor, which tends
to rather sloppily 'enhance' the bass registers.
