I think there's only a very stupid, short-sighted reason: since numbers
never have descenders, it wasn't necessary to add a pixel of whitespace
underneath the rendered string. I was intent on reducing the size of
everything to its absolute minimum.
I was forgetting about (or maybe not anticipating) "symbol" boxes - it's
easy to make symbol box text collide with the box's outlet. And "|"
characters can hit the bottom edge of the box even away from the outlet.

Is there a reason why atoms and slightly shorter in height than object boxes, at least on macOS?
I'm not asking for the technical reason, as I know in the code why this is, but more the conceptual reason, or is it a bug?
