How does being tall have anything to do with how high your sight is mounted? You're field of view is already elevated by physically being taller, there's no need to place your sight higher. Now if you said you have a big head and can't get a good cheek weld...
Sight placement is typically as close to your barrel as possible. It allows your zero'd range to be greater over a sight that is mounted extremely high. Greater accuracy over more distance.
I'm sure someone can be more technical as it currently escapes me how to explain it better.
