I remember reading somewhere once that “long” faces convey emotion more easily, from a visual standpoint, and this is even more exaggerated with dramatic lighting to enhance/lengthen shadows.
and this is one of the reasons why so many actors and models have these features compared to the regular population.
of course, it’s feeding back now upon us such that people who uncritically consume media thing these are representative facial features and associate them with biological fitness/attraction.

why are so many of their heads so stretched and long?
