why is there a weird carpeted step in my closet?

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I've seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?

I have something similar in our house. It’s hiding the hvac duct because of a load bearing beam blocking the duct from running in a perfectly straight line.

HVAC! it's right over the closet with the air filter. So that's probably it. Now the question is why is it carpeted lol
