Pretty much the question

Because height is just a tool and brutal force is part of what’s being measured.
If you’re taller and stronger, you’ll weigh more, or have less of something else like bone density or water content. Weight classes do a pretty good job of canceling out advantages other than technique; for every advantage you gain with height/muscle, you lose reflex/dexterity/endurance if the weight stays the same.
At junior levels, any quick thinker can use their physique to advantage in the ring; at pro levels it tends to settle on stockier and muscular— but not always. You can predict a lot about someone’s technique by their build, and if you have a chance to study them, then it all comes down to who has the winning combination of physique and strategy.
