well i do so as many more also.

and you normally don't grow a plant too tall in indoor grows since light source fades a bit per ft distance to the bulb. in my grow 4ft plant are the max i can grow so i don't need anything bigger then a 4 gallon pot really.
Next is that you aren't limited to the use of cylindric/roundish pots, you could also use square pots or grow bags. both save some space.

also, if you grow super dense you will end up with a SOG grow situation so you can't grow that tall anymore since the bottom of the plant then will get no light. so we are down to about 2ft then as max which then means that we only need 2 gallons of dirt for perfect root expansion.

so this ration isn't so unrealistic to achieve after all.
