Our silly monkey brains interpret deeper voices as being more authoritative.
It’s likely she was taking advantage of that human quirk to make her seem, on a subconscious level, like a better businessperson.

No, the reason is she did it because she read/heard that it would make others take her more seriously. That’s not the same as what you said.
There is a tv show that I think is based on her in one of the streaming platforms. It features an actress posing the same way and using a low voice.
I forgot what it’s called but I downloaded and watched the whole show.
