Pouch cells are a different animal and cannot be directly compared to chemistry in a can batteries. Also pouch cells are highly prone to fires.

I never really understood why Tesla went with such small cells, other than that was what they could get when they got started, and stuck with it.

Tesla went with them because they are basically perfected, can be made in high volumes and are reasonably cost effective. And at the time (and even now) they are among the best designs available. So it should be very easy to understand why Tesla went with 1865 cells.
