Some bonsai actually grow quite tall.

I am assuming that you mean the smaller variety of bonsai though.

Heres an answer:

Because people prune bonsai in a way that doesn't harm the plant but keeps it small.

They restrict watering to keep it compact and miniature.

Bonsai growers also carve the bark off the top sometimes.

that wood eventually becomes dead so nothing will grow on the top!

Why don't bonsai plants grow tall?

Actually they do grow tall. You have not likely seen tall bonsai because growers do not normally show them prior to pruning. Often during development a bonsai will be very tall, then when the trunk thickness and roots are developed enough, the artist will chop the trunk to make it shorter, and over the next few years develop a new leader and branching to make it look like a much older, mature tree that is small.
