There has to be a specific reason why most cars all have similar shapes to their pedals.

Part of the reason that hasn’t been mentioned here is that the brake pedal is (or at least used to be) wide enough to get both feet on it. Before reliable power brakes, the expression “stand on the brakes” was a lot closer to literally true than it is now. The gas pedal just moves a small lever and never needs both feet to operate. Add heel/toe shifting and you end up with a wide brake pedal and a tall gas pedal.
