I guess you didn't read the rest. The fact that European drivers also don't care about living quarters was another big reason. Additionally, regardless of whether there's a legal length requirement in the EU I would assume drivers would still choose the cab over engine design due to maneuverability in tight urban settings (also mentioned in the article).

I quite liked the other information provided. You suggesting that an article should contain less information seems quite silly. You know what you could do? Don't read the rest and you won't have an issue....

They could have put the answer to the question in the title at the top and follow with sections on pros / cons, history, etc. But that would lower reader numbers.

Anything about if the difference would remain if the regulation wasn't in place is just speculation. It's like saying, if C wasn't a hard limit for travel speed, would we have space ships that travel faster than light?
