I’m 6’3”. Just too high.

Is it me or do others find the same?

Not just you, a lot of tall or long limbed long necked shooters find the same.
It’s not just the height of the comb that helps but also a higher rib to keep your head up more. It’s a much more natural head position for those of us taller than the average the guns were designed for.
Don’t know what gun you’re shooting or looking at but check out some adjustable comb higher rib guns and see how they feel when adjusted to you.

Monte-Carlo also helps position the butt lower in the shoulder pocket for better recoil absorption. Im 6'2" and used to shoot a standard adjustable, even that didnt work. Now i have a monte-carlo the gun sits lower, there is less recoil and my head isnt as far down for a more comfortable shooting position. I have a MK38 Adjustable Stock with a lower pad at the back to create a poor mans monte-carlo. I'll see Manuel next year to make it less Frankenstein.

Even a high rib is no good. Basically a Monte Carlo means my view is really high above the rib. I’d always shoot high.

With my semi auto Beretta Xtreme Plus, I’ve shimmed all the way down and the higher rib gives me a decent view down the rib. About right.
