Idk it’s just one of the weird quirks of baseball. The infields are exactly the same dimensions, but the outfields are unique to the park

So it’s not the point, it’s just a quirk :)

Doesn't that change what a home run is then?

Kinda. A home run still scores the same but some parks are tougher to hit home runs in than others. Some park favor left handed hitters or pull hitters. Some parks like Fenway have taller walls in the outfield too which affects how the offenses score. All just part of the game
