There are lot of bombers with high wing (B52, almost anything several engines from WWII). About half of all propeller driven passenger planes have high wing.
>Unlike the An-124, the An-225 was not intended for tactical airlifting and is not designed for short-field operation
It still has high wing. And U2 has high wing. It's probably the plane with most carefully calculated weight ever.
If it was inherently heavier, this would make no sense.
