Ya know... Mr Lincoln had a great quote for moments like this:
Better to remain silent and thought a FOOL .... than to open your mouth and prove it.
You obviously don't know jack about MOPARS.... or the engineering history surrounding the HEMI's original design intentions, or requirements... Try reading a little....
The original HEIM Combustion Chamber design came from a Supercharged AND Turbo-Charged Aircraft engine design.... The most powerful of its' day... intended for prop fighters. Introduction of the JET age pretty much killed the program..... but the design lived on...

I'll answer for you. Hemis were made to get the biggest valves possible in the chamber. Modern thinking is that it's not as important to get max airflow as it is to get max combustion efficiency. This means a compact, properly shaped combustion chamber, which you can't get with a hemi head with over a 3" bore.
