Stand over height is never an issue until it is, generally when you screw up on a skinny, log, or ladder and need to put your feet down or when life goes sideways and you find yourself riding the top tube down some steep jank.
I’ll agree s/o height gets less important as your skills advance and you’re dismounting in more controlled fashion or flying off separated from your bike. But I think it matters to a lot more riders locally than it doesn’t matter to.
