I can understand the XL not fitting, and some medium/large are the same shell but different padding, but you found even the small doesn't fit!

HJC IS-MAX Helmet
Size: Small
Does not fit, but can close the seat forcefully on it, but the helmet pushes the seat up and you can tell something is in the compartment.

It seems most (but not all!) small FF helmets fit, some medium and hardly any large or above. Probably more true than the stock 'FF helmets fit nonsense'.

Depends on he helmet shell shape and size.
Not all helmets are created equal.
Many full face helmets in XL size fit.
If your particular helmet doesn't fit either you have bought the wrong scooter for your helmet or the wrong helmet for your scooter.
Try before you buy, it isn't rocket science.

Just going by the comments on this forum from many users with many brands of helmet from across the globe - a very high percentage say their helmet does not fit, so seems to be the norm.

How many members on this forum? (1577)
How many have reported non-fitting helmet? (maybe 30, 50...?)

Looking at those numbers, its nowhere near as big a percentage as you seem to think.

you you... Statistical Psychology... Now that's some statistics. Gave me a headache in school. We could use those statistics to determine the likely hood of people to purchase helmets that don't fit based on any info about those people.
