Why are the steering wheels of buses/trucks/lorries more or less angled horizontally instead of the angle seen in cars?

Ergonomics and what sells best to the general public. Buses with or without an upper deck don’t have to ‘appeal’ as they are designed to get the maximum amount of people onto the smallest amount of real estate. Prisons bury the dead standing up due to real estate (and lack of objectors). Having ‘laid back’ driver at the controls doesn’t inspire confidence.
