Becasue they are devs. Ignoring simple ergonomics and obvious solutions is part of their job description.

I personally have a different favourite, that is to make popup windows (for making a choice from a list of items) as small as possible, so that the scroll bars are needed for sure, titles do not get listed in full, and handling the whole thing becomes as microscopic as possible. The screen needs to stay as clean and unused as possible - that helps to protect against eye-cancer, I suppose.
