It’s by necessity. The hardware in a gaming laptop gets a lot hotter, so you need wider openings that are closer to the heat generating parts. If you were to do this on the sides, you’d need to build the case bigger and put a much stronger heat transfer system to account for the smaller and further opening.

Personally I just skip all that and either hang them from hooks, or throw them into a tall, upright container (like a vase or can put something). I’ve got all my oddly shaped utensils like that, and I’ve got this old vase thing that stores my most common utensils, within reach of my stove. The access matters more than the storage.
