Well, I don't think it's for that specific reason. Cup applications use a 9.200" deck with a 3.500" stroke, so the piston isn't going to be uber short anyway. Compression heights are high 1.200's to 1.300's. Couple that with the fact that wrist pin diameters get really small (some are down to around 3/4"), the pin is easily kept away from the ring pack.
