Each lamp has to have an exhaust tip somewhere. When the bulb is of a large volume and thin lead in wires passing the wire seal, some extra volume is not a problem, it becomes possible to hide that tip e.g. into the socket or base. But when the capsule is small with rather large seal structure (thick lead in wires,...) and temperature sensitive (like the halogen capsules are), there is usually no other choice than leaving the tip on the top or on an opposite side than the seals are, so it remains visible. It does not matter if it is quartz or hard glass, the limitations are practically the same...
