Ideal stem length on a custom frame?

When custom designing a frame, is there a particular stem length that is considered ideal, or is it depending on torso to arm length or some other factors?

I saw this post which states that per Specialized, 100mm for 56cm and 110 for 58 is considered ideal, but why is that? Why not a longer top tube by itself?
