Unsure as to why this was cross-posted, but...

Many vendors do these sizes now. 600x1200 is rather useful when you have
meter-long servers and need to get four 0U PDUs in at the back. :)

Neatly fits on to common 600mm² footprints, too.

I quite liked 750mm APCs, but last I looked I recall that they've
shifted to 800mm wide now?

Instead of having to do 4x750 racks in 5x600 footprints to line them up,
you can now do 3x800 racks in 4x600 footprints. Fewer snowflake racks
messing up the rack/footprint alignment, and you get more room per rack.
