What matters is the volume, not the height per se. You can get ones with the same rating that are short and fat. But the advantage of a long cap is that you can mount it on its side and get a thinner solution if need be. https://digikey.com/product-detail/en/nichicon/UCY2G560MHD3TN/493-4829-3-ND/3129834 …
The reason for the form factor is that it's a camera flash cap. It's designed to fit vertically on one edge of a camera as held, spanning the height of the camera. In film cameras they even used to go inside the take-up spool.

I'm sure these days they're also used as reservoir caps in slim switchmode PSUs somewhere, but the flash cap form factor predates widespread SMPSUs :-)
