Why ? trailer jacks so tall ?
Many complain that they can not open the tailgate on their pickup while hitched to their trailer . Me too ! My jack is ten or eleven inches taller than needs to be ! Probably the same for most of you...

I’ve only been towing trailers since I was old enough to drive in 1988, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had a trailer that the top of the jack wasn’t at least as tall as the tailgate of the truck, when the tailgate was folded down. And that seems like a pretty consistent dimension across the years and brands of trucks.
Even my current rig which has a 6” lift and 37s and generally a 8-10” drop ? hitch, the jacks on the few trailers Ive pulled are still taller than the tailgate when it’s folded down and the trailer is hooked up reasonably level.
Seems like one of those petty first world problems to me.
