So is that what this is in aid of, really small size road bikes? Time
was, 650C was the size of choice for really small road bikes even though
only really narrow tires were available in that size. It might have made
sense for manufacturers to go to 559 for such bikes -- it seems so
quaint now to think that at one time 559 was so popular -- but there
never were many high quality roadie-narrow tires in that size, and of
course now some are floating the idea that 559 is obsolete. Perhaps 584
roadie-narrow tires aren't so crazy after all if you must have narrow
tires: the issue of small frames having trouble fitting a 700C wheel
without strange geometry compromises hasn't gone away, and a 28-584
wheel is going to be substantially smaller in diameter than even a
23-722 (that, after all, is about the same size as a 42-584!) and 28mm >
23mm.

Ha! Yes, possibly, but I'm a bit of a hobbit anyway, so I'm used to
bikes that look small.

28 might look funny in such a wide fork of a 650b bike.
