I have 20's on mine no issues 19" should be the smallest on an S197. I'm not too concerned about ride quality if I wanted that I wouldn't be in a mustang. With that being said it still rides good on the road even with a street/strip set-up.
Had 19's and 20's on my S197. No ride quality change and they look great. 
I guess to answer your original question, people out 20's on their cars for the same reason you'd rather have 19's. They like them.

I won my set of 20s...
They look darn good! Perfect! On an SN-95, though, the same wheel size would look way big. JMO.Different strokes different folks
My 20s looked pretty good imo
Great wheel design choice by the way!
I agree with OP - 20's are comically large on any Mustang IMO. I don't know that I would pass up a car just because I didn't care for the wheels though
LOL, yeah, I must be frakkin' crazy. Imagine actually wanting to buy a car that I'll enjoy driving. Excuse me while I 'GTFO'.......

There is a reason why the Mustang is affordable; what it lacks in comfort it makes up for in performance. Ford was well aware of this, but to get it in to the price range for most buyers, they sacrificed a lot of comforts.
You do whatever you think you have to in order to make the car comfortable, and if something that makes the tiniest difference, such as going from 19s to 20s is going to do it for you, then go for it. I came out of a 2014 and went from 19s to 20s, and other than handling because I switched out the tires as well, there was barely any difference in ride comfort. It was still a Mustang, with poor comfort in the first place. I enjoyed it because it was cheap and fast, not because I thought it was comfortable to ride in. In fact, my family hated riding in it.
I agree. I don't think I would pass on a car that I loved because of the wheels. New wheels are only a phone call away...
Well cars nowadays are bigger so it's justified in that sense. Bigger cars, bigger wheels.
Well, so far you guys have given me zero reasons (other than looks) for 20" wheels. Show me some proof that 'handling' is actually better with 20" wheels. Show me proof where lap times are reduced and then I will buy into the handling improvement of 20" wheels.
The proof is in the pudding come drive my car it handles great

Ah yes I forgot every time I drove my car to work I was going for record lap times simultaneously

What tires do the cars have that you drove? Just went from stock performance pack wheels on our 2016 to 20" wheels. New wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sports: 275/35 front and 295/35 rear. The new setup rides way better than stock and has more grip.
Tires can make all the difference.
