(late edit. I think I have read that the front wing height is to provide less disturbance to the air flowing through the underbody. A lower wing would generate more dirty air for the car itself.)

Yes that is a logical train of thought, they have prioritised overall car downforce generation over the effectiveness of the front wing. Having a lower front wing would likely hamper the floor aero but it would allow the cars to follow better.
