To me, the issue is definitely postural as nothing else should be able to result in such a predictable relationship between skeletal form and hair loss. I became aware of this phenomenon a few years ago too, there is a nice article series written about it here: More on Hair Loss: Part I
As for the cause, I think the SCM's are in a central role here. You observed how the bald men invariably have a high and narrow neurocranium, whereas the hairier men have lower and wider neurocraniums. It's as if something has pulled the halves of their skull apart downward to the sides, which is exactly what proper SCM activation does. SCM's overall are very pronounced in well developed people and invisible in less developed or poorly postured people. As the strongest neck muscles they are one of the predominant drivers of skull development and as such a good biomarker of proper head posture.
With your tongue, jaw and neck completely relaxed, try to drive your head upwards until your SMC's begin to activate. It may take a while, but eventually you will begin to feel a deep skeletal stretch that radiates from your cranial base to your forehead, face and the sides of your head. As you maintain this stretch throughout the day, your skull should begin to unwind into a better structure akin to that of the hairy men. You may notice that it quickly becomes your default head posture.
