Sorry to resurrect the thread, but it's not an engineering mistake. Ideally you'd want a third full height speaker, like your L&R mains, for a center channel. Obviously with the height limitation that a screen dictates, you need to make it shorter. Now why not make it a wide short rectangle? Dispersion pattern. You'd wind up with more sound up and down and very little to the left and right. This would result in anemic mids to the right and left of the center as well as reflections off the floor and ceiling.A wide and short woofer would effectively a 1.7 on it's side. Get on a ladder 3 feet in front and 3 feet above of your floor standing maggies. Not much response there. That's what you'd be getting off to the left and right.
The height is an engineering decision (aka a compromise) to maximize bass response with a given height while having an acceptable dispersion pattern.
