Because after a certain point on the bell curve for height the risks of vascular, musculature, and skeletal problems begin to skyrocket. Ask a hundred guys in their 30s who range from 5' 5" to 6' 5" and see which ones already have sore knees and sore backs simply through existing. Modern medicine helps offset things a lot so outliers persist longer than they did historically, but the end result is always the same: early onset heart disease, circulatory problems, and chronic joint pains for the rest of their lives. Lives which modern medicine and culture continue to prolong.
I figured people trended toward exactly the right height for their environment. Some people just get a big head about their tall head. I'm not embarrassed to say I'm 5'9" and everything fits me, and I fit into everything. We're tool users. Sucks for anyone who thought they were going to skate by by being big.
You know what tall people don't get to do that much? Go on amusement park rides due to upper height limits.
Tall people can see over other people. So there's that.
