Actually, that's true mostly for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. The score distribution for other languages such as French or German is less top-heavy. I'm guessing that's because Asian languages are so difficult to learn that nobody except natives take them.
However, the Math IIC and Physics tests have a lot of high scores, leading to even an 800 being only only around 91 or 93 percentile.
