[Avodah] Sukkah GT 20 amot high (yesterday's daf)

Yesterday's Daf gives 3 reasons why a Sukkah higher than 20 Amot is
Pasul.
(1) Rabah - Lo shalta bei eyna
(2) Rav Zeira - One is not sitting in the tzel of the Sukkah
(3) Rava - LT  20 is a temporary dwelling
Any insights on how the 20 amot was arrived at. Are 1 and 3 inherent in
the briah or subject to change (or are they like treifot-fixed in time).
Is 2 geometrically defensible?  Is all this really descriptive rather
than prescriptive?
