I get that the ingots need a certain draft angle in order to easily eject from the die, but why is the angle usually so extreme? The ingots are, from what i believe, just used for easy storage of metal, but why wouldn’t a lesser angle then be favorable, as the packing of the ingots would be more efficient?

You can alternate their orientation in a pattern such as
_/‾_/‾_/‾_/‾.

Then the wasted space is very small regardless of incline. I am also not sure if space efficiency even matters that much for metals, they are pretty dense after all.
