50 and the Spiral get saved from looking stubby because so many towers are jammed together right there.

It’s because they’re classy, in a way. The spiral’s terraces embrace it’s bulkyness. It could stand on it’s own and be beautiful. (Shown is the thinner front and a corner perspective accounting for both facades).
This tower, on the other hand, has nothing cohesive going on, and when it got stubby, then even the aspect of being a skyscraper sorts of fades away. But it really is the smallest of the problems in this design. The original Pelli design was bulky but cool.
