ELI5: Why are the steering wheels of buses/trucks/lorries more or less angled horizontally instead of the angle seen in cars?

They aren't all like that, but the ones that are is typically because the driver is sitting further forward/higher in comparison to the steering gearbox than the driver in a car does. Fewer joints to adjust the angle of the steering wheel leads to better responsiveness and fewer parts to break.
