Default Servo torque (physics question)

Once the servo arm has rotated 60 degrees, the mechanical advantage has increased from 1.00 to 2.00. When it has rotated 70 degrees, the mecahnical advantage goes up to 2.92. At 80 degrees, it is 5.75!
The best reason to try and use all the servo throw possible, next in line for me would be that it allows use of all the resolution the system is capable of. (These swap back and forth depending on the type plane I am working on)

Why some setups restrict you to short servo arm travel when just a few minor changes make major differences.
