Most likely the high chamber pressures of the diesels require a more robust connecting rod. The longer the stroke the longer the connecting rod needs to be and that makes beefing it up to take the force from the piston difficult without adding unwanted mass. As long as good combustion quality and aspiration can be ensured it benefits to run oversquare since you have higher rpm potential.
