Actually I believe that it has to do with air pressure when closing the door. Having it open a little bit allows for there to be equal pressure when the door closes.

Frameless windows can be damaged when shutting the door (from air pressure as mentioned). They drop to release the pressure.

Default Frameless Window

If it ever doesn't lower and you shut the door you will instantly know why! It's to prevent the window from breaking

If you don't like it doing it, you can turn the screw in the door jamb to keep it up all the time. My tint installer showed me that trick.
