Aha :o
The reason people hate high wires is because they don't have any breast tissue there?! I cannot stand a wire or bra that doesn't reach into that armpit and almost behind it because there will be armpit hurtful quadboob when it doesn't. When poking into armpit has happened on me it hasn't been even ten percent as hurtful as a bra too small/low on the sides.

I always assumed it was different heights of people that made the difference. I also prefer a high wire but I think I'm longer than average from shoulder to underbust. For evidence I have the fact that I wear bra straps on the loose end of the spectrum. I've also assumed that people being poked painfully by too high wires were (understandably) more vocal than those such as I who dislike low wires because of unsightly tissue escape.
It's not always an issue of height. I'm 5'3.5" and have a short shoulder to bust/underbust depth and prefer higher wires for the same reason Branarchist mentions: If they are too low they create armpit quadboob and press into breast tissue which hurts. The height issue I have is CUP height where that cuts into the sides of my arms and then is also too baggy. I prefer halfcups and low balconettes for this reason.
