Why can’t airports just be standard or double maybe triple height, why do they have to be so big?

Because in such hall constructions extra height is relatively cheap, lifting the roof higher doesn’t add much cost, but it certainly makes the place feel roomier and with a bit of effort much more impressive. It’s an ancient engineering trick, temples, churches etc do the same thing, it greatly eases sales no matter if you are peddling last minute tourist nick-nacks or a cult.
