I assume there is a premium cost associated with 7ft+ piece of glass. Compared to 2 - 3.5ft pieces of glass.  But I am not an expert when it comes to curtain wall systems.
It is absolutely a price thing. Higher end more expensive buildings are more likely to utilize larger glass pieces. There is also a maneuverability aspect as well, windows with horizontal mullions can often be opened where as solid windows more often cant. 

Like I said though, overall it's a nitpick and I really like what were getting here
