I wonder what you really benefitted in Asia in that regard. Having more roomy space doesn't sound bad and I'm sure clothing won't have shortage of varying sizes.

One simple thing: Chairs are usually just a few cm too high. As a result, all the weight of my lower legs is on the part just above the knee and sitting normally is quite uncomfortable and I usually just.. don't, and cross my legs to sit fully on top of the thing. (In formal settings, this is not acceptable however.) I recently flew with China Airlines (the Taiwanese one) and lo and behold, I could finally sit in an airplane normally. Not recommended for tall people, but very much so for shorter ones.

Workspaces in the kitchen or workshop are also just a few cm too high to work comfortably. In public transport, I often cannot reach the straps to hold on to from the top without being in very very uncomfortable stretch. Of course, if they were lower, other people would hit their heads, so it can't be helped.

It's these small things that are hard to set up in any other way (one size fits all) and someone will be inconvenienced at any setup. I'm not saying we should change things here to accommodate people my size. It's just really nice when things simply.. fit.

Having more room doesn't look good (most cases). A closer fit will always look better.
