There are plenty of smaller ones. There's a 5-story one in downtown Oakland, for example.

I suppose there are certain locations (Bay Area, for one) where the property values are high enough to include 5x the cost for framing and still net a nice profit, but a ‘typical’ developer maximizing their margins will almost inevitably stick build a 5-over-1 due to cost savings.
