my personal hypothesis is that the long muscles in my legs contribute to my FTP, but the same long muscle contractions limit my jump/max power.

OP is opposite. It's definitely not a limiter, but might predispose him to be being stronger/weaker at different aspects. I tend to feel like the squat short-limbed guys make good sprinters, but again most everyone can sprint away from me so it could be coincidence.
I am 72 inches tall and 74 1/2 wingspan with a shorter torso and my power curve favors jump and sprint power over FTP. Go figure.
