You are expected to be a standard size.
Which seems to me to be long legged and thin.
Oops - I am obviously not average.
Well above in fact in the waist but have a very short leg

Sounds like you are shopping off the rack at general clothing stores.
Try a men's clothing store, like a Men's Warehouse. The pants are un-hemmed, and their in-house tailor adjusts them for free.
As for the reasons that pants come hemmed, it's for the general population. A short is a 30", average is 32", tall is 34", and x-tall is 36" on the inseams. They figure that covers most any man on the planet. It's easier to size things on either even or odd measurements than every inch.

Probably because it's easier to make trousers shorter if needed, the reverse is not necessarily the case. This maximises the chances of the design fitting the greatest range of leg length for a given waist size...

Apple, as Lucky answered, the better quality vendors do leave the hems unfinished for this purpose. However, the rest of the mfrs' pants usually have labels with the measurements listed. Does'nt that help? But to be fair, as an ASM in a dept store, with menswear being one of my depts, we do sell a small number of finished slacks and have to send them to our seamstress for alterations.

READY-TO-WEAR requires finished hems.Some manufacturers leave hems unfinished,but most READY-TO-WEAR buyers wear their pants as is so the hem has to be finished.Some people,like me,see a tailor to have things tweaked here and there,and not just hems.

Better quality trousers are available un-hemmed at most men's stores.
