I wouldn’t be surprised if these were laser wood cutters or something similar that have been converted after not selling. It is very strange to only have 200mm height on a purpose built 3d printer.
Actually, when you put it that way - I can totally see your point I have 3 large footprint printers but x and y are really what used most, for big z index prints I have a print mill
you could try splitting larger models and joining them - i’ve had good results with dovetail joints in prusaslicer for wider prints that exceed my build volume, works suprisingly well for functional parts.
I already do that, semi-frequently, but it can be a pain to get right for parts that require really accurate geometric stability (e.g I’ve been printing some engine components out of PA6-CF these days, had to redesign a few to fit on the build plate).
800x800x 200??? That’s the weirdest damn dimensions

I would unironically kill for a printer with very large but short dimensions like that
99% of the time when I’m limited by my printer’s footprint, it’s in bed area not total volume.

I’m with you. Joining parts adds a ton of post processing that I’d really prefer to do without.
