Default Smaller GLS bulbs

Here in the UK, at my local Tesco supermarket I saw some GLS bulbs
which has a glass envelope that were slightly smaller than usual.

What's the idea behind this?

Wouldn't a 100W filament make a smaller bulb glass envelope get
hotter than the larger standard envelope.

And therefore wouldn't this make the life shorter?
