I found the same, and on top of that a large number of "bookshelf" speakers have recommendations of being 10-30cm from the wall.
I ended up with some Dali ones, they seemed to have more slim options that were designed to be used close to a wall. The Neat Iota were on my list but I wasn't that keen on the looks and they are not cheap compared to alternatives.

Dali Spektor 2?
Every now and then I half look for cheapish bookshelf speakers that can go against the wall.
Mainly for my shed or some future hypothetical, but achievable space.
Also have the Wharfedale d310 saved. They're bottom ported(?) I think. Idk if that means they must sit on something? - wall mounted is one of my requirements.

On speaker size.. true the drivers have a certain depth. But I don't see why a cabinet needs to be in portrait mode, or that the cabinet needs to be 2x or 3x the depth of the driver.
An octagon cabinet (or a big square one) holding a driver with central tweeter would provide the cabinet more space and more consistently shaped space internally.
I'm frustrated in my shopping as everything that claims to be a bookshelf speaker option is above 30cm depth when I have height and width to spare.
I can only conclude the bookshelves suited for bookshelf speakers only hold art books.
