If something can be configured, this opens up infinite possibilities for discussions on how it should be configured. The fact that you even ASK if you should use the tall style means that you are considering the POSSIBILITY of using it that way.

Put it this way, if it is technically impossible to develop a car that have the color red, we would not be discussing or entertaining what color the next car should have. It would be red, end of story. It doesn't matter if we like red or not, it just has to be. end of story.

This idea that such formatters end these discussions is just demonstrably false... you are literally taking part in one of these discussions.
