I would guess it's due to ease of evacuation. A building that is 100 m wide by 10 m high * 10 m deep will have more room external fire exits than a building that is 10 m wide * 10 m deep * 100 m high.
The actual figure of 22m probably means nothing, and was likely only chosen because they had to set a limit purely so they could enforce it.
