The larger wrench is typically used with sockets, or bizarrely large hex bits.
And even if they could make one torque wrench that could perform accurately with that kind of range, it wouldn't be a good idea, business-wise. Because some doofus is bound to come along and place 60nm on a 3mm bit and... hilarity will ensue, frivolous litigation and all.
