I am not sure what the construction costs are like in these different scenarios, but the developers seem to prefer squat 15-20 storey buildings (or maybe that's what the planning rules encourage). If there are few units per floor then that might allow them to get away with fewer elevators.

I don't know the economics or construction issues either, but I note that in NYC right now there seems to be a trend of building very tall, very skinny "pencil" towers. Of course NYC property values and development rules are the main drivers of that.
