Structurally calculated.
That is the best strength spot or the least place to weaken the structure at that size of window.

I am the same height as I was in the 1960s, but the window tops are now just below my shoulder. I suspect the floor has been raised to make more room for cargo down below.

Because they are a lot of passengers in one airplane so they make it small and you might know that all of windows formed from of two glass layers between them layer insulate from of air and the engines sound.

Because the jet's body is a cylinder basically, and the placement of the wings requires the windows to be set at that precise height to maximize body integrity, putting into account cabin pressure.

it is based on the X/y-4.87-10 rule. due to velocity declination and altitudes subjected to the subzero climate at -20 kelvin. the nitrostatic inclination of the vortex taken to the Nth power correlates to the absolute aerodynamic value
hope this helps

Structual reasons.
The fusalage is an ovoid.
The windows are usually at the point on the ovoid that is closest to a straight line.

They are the perfect height for me. Although sometimes I have to lean forward or back to see out of them. Maybe people were shorter when they started building commercial airplines.

not all air palnes are like that but i found that those airplanes have it like that because a very large precent are afraid of airplanes.
