To me, Venom will always be just the body builder version that McFarlane created, 6'3 270lbs, not a giant wanna be Hulk.
Original MU 616 hgts for them all:

Hulk 7 ft
Juggs 6'10 cuz 6'10 isn't big enough.
Thanos 6'7
Venom 6'3'
Thing 6'

God forbid they kept them at those listed hgts.

Hulk actually gets bigger and stronger the more angry he gets, however I THINK his maximum size is 9ft. Juggernaut is mystically powered by a demonic crystal, so who knows what full abilities it has to enlarge him over time and exposure. Venom maintained a consistent size up until "The Madness" which boosted the power of the sym-bye-oat to levels allowing it to tango with Juggernaut. After that, it seemed artists were given Carte Blanche to make Venom as exaggerated and monstrous as they could.
Personally, I've always found Bagley's Venom to be the perfect representation of Venom. Scary fangy face and tongue, but human proportions.

As for Thing and Thanos, there really isn't any excuse for their mass-shifting other that bad artists.

Overall, I agree with you about the height-shifts, but a bigger peeve of mine is the muscles. I can't stand artists who want muscles so badly that they invent muscles to place on top of muscles. It was horrible in the 90's and you still see it occasionally today. A lot of comic book artists today looks like they took their influence from the Ren and Stimpy cartoon.
