i can’t see any benefit to not having them there 
When I had mine I struggled to get the bum strap the right length to be comfortable. Eventually realised this is because I was measuring it in slightly different places every time. Eventually clocked that if you position these little bits of webbing over your sit bones and then set the length of the bum strap, it increases comfort massively.
Before this I was finding it was either too loose to do anything or too tight when crawling that the harness was putting too much pressure on my hips

On my Picos (the Amazonia 2 looks similar) I eventually sorted that problem in the same way as JoshW described.
The other problem was that one of those short connections - it was always the same one but now I don't remember which - quickly used to move to the centre, making it uncomfortable and occasionally painful!
I never worked out why it happened but eventually had to fix it by sewing them to the bum strap with short lengths of waxed thread.
I'm sure that would have voided any guarantee but made it the most comfortable harness I have had.

Hi @JoshW, could you explain a little bit more please the best way to set this up or maybe have a photo to show? I found I had issues with this strap the past few weeks and was considering removing the leg loop connections.i can’t see any benefit to not having them there
