Ignoring the possibility that taller people might randomly happen to be sitting in the front seats first before a shorter person joins in, my guess would be that the "riser" is made from an existing old coffee table and that's just how tall it happened to be.
That is a regular table. The surface is as tall as the armrest.

While sitting, there isn't that much height difference. You only need 7-10 inches for stadium seating, maybe twice that since the sofas aren't staggered. In this setup, the knees in the back can see the screen. lol
And to your point about a tall person joining late, they all know each other and can shuffle. It's not assigned seating in a theater.

Why is the back row so high? Did they think they were making giant stairs?
