Why would the manufacturer have a
maximum height above the floor? There will be plenty of room between
the oven and the cook top to increase that distance some.


It certainly seems strange at first glance. Only reason I can think of is
so have a minimum on top so it does not overheat the countertop.

Yep. See the note:

"If no cooktop is installed directly over the oven unit, 5" maximum is
allowed above the floor."

Notice that they also specify minimum countertop heights.

They're definately trying to maintain a certain airspace above the oven.
