Why are Stop Lines (in the US, at least) often set too far back to see any crossing traffic?

Others had pointed the reasons, I wanted to add that you have to stop at the line, and if something obstructs your sight (at stop signs, not traffic lights) you have to go a bit forward and stop again.
Speaking of obstructing your sight, I’ve been test driving a lot bc I’m looking for my midlife crisis car rn. I’ve never had a shorter car before and I’m looking at maybe a Porsche rn which sits low.
The amount of bushes placed where you need to see oncoming traffic is stupid. Also all the blackout tinted windows that keep you from seeing traffic in front. I’m second guessing owning a shorter car
Another thing i have noticed since the increase in popularity of SUVs and larger Utes ('truck' for americans) is that their body is higher as well so often sedans and small cars cant see through other cars windows for traffic stopping ahead of the car infront of you or oncoming traffic when trying to turn out onto a road.
