Bush beans are a thing? Soybeans don't climb either, and it's the most common bean grown in the US.

oh I've only grown vine beans. The ones I have that were originally smuggled when all the invasive species were brought in grow easily 10+ feet high and any I can't reach are left to dry on the vine at the end of the season and the poles are toppled to grab them

I suspect that's one of the reasons they're grown in greenhouses commercially. They use a lift to pick, and it's easier to drive over pavement than dirt.
