Look at the indent around the opening. On the shorter can it goes from wide to narrow at the back of the tab. It's more of a straight line on the taller can
It's definitely more surface area per volume, but a 200 vs 202 lid and a smaller hermetic seal cancels some of those losses. Sidewall is cheap aluminum wise, but you're likely right in that it's a little more aluminum. Definitely costs more to make since they do fill a little slower.
