Problem is, there are enough people who are taller than us, but not too tall, that the big companies don't care about us around the edges. I'd gladly go custom, but that's too many $$$$.
What they care about is $$. If people are buying them the last thing any business would do is to stop production. That much should be clear to anyone.

If it makes you feel any better most of the world is designed for small to average individual. If you think losing one item is a sacrifice, you should spend a day in the shoes of someone taller than average. Nothing is designed to fit comfortable for us. Nothing!
