That sounds easy except go look at the table of model heights and even the same vendor is all over the place when it comes to what a default figure height should be. The fact that most female figures are in the top 1% or less of real world females basically means they are meant for the runway and not used in what would considered to be a real world setting. Also the height has been growing over the years as it seems to be a race to have the tallest figure out there.

Also since in the virtual world numbers have no meaning unless compared to each other so if vendors and figure creators were really interested in scale they should have been using the Poser 1 man as the measure since he is 5'10" or there about since he was the first thing to put a scale to.

Why, since as you point out, the numbers have meaning only in relationship to each other, would there be a race to have to tallest figure out there? Do vendors and creators want users to have extra steps in using their products with other designers' products? Do they want to have their own little proprietary sub-universe where things from outside don't fit? It seems pretty contrarian to me. Since Poser does have a conversion from native units to real world units, why not make things 'real' sizes?
