    I will second the idea that the cabinet was designed to easily fit through doorways. That dictated the playfield size. Many things, or their packaging are designed simply on the idea of being able to fit thru doors, and/or because a certain package size can make the best use of the space of its shipping container, wether that be a semi, a train car, or a sea container.
