Again with the personal preference, I'd want handle bars that offer

Trekking bars offer tons of hand positions and use strong and
inexpensive mtb components. Using drop bars on utility bikes is a
strange affectation.
BTW, dropbars on a MTB is not strange to everyone..

And what is a "utility bike"? Something to do the shopping with?
Carrying stuff on racks? A touring bike is not much different, yet
those in the touring club I used to ride with all used dropbars.
Did you look at the link to the Trek bike in question?
Yes.
My words for
using drop bars on such a bike would be a lot less charitable than
"strange affectation".
Opinions are like arse holes, everybody has got one.
