You could make this argument about almost anything, and it comes down to sales margins really. But for example taller riders, such as myself, are often limited to Adventure bikes or Motocross bikes for comfort out of the box. Luckily for us, there's plenty of aftermarket support, such as bar risers.
I'd like a mid sized cruiser but at 6'4" they're a little cramped. I could install forward controls though and some other minor adjustments and probably be reasonably comfortable.
My point is, sometimes it makes more sense to sell to the masses and let the aftermarket handle the rest.
