I know nothing of guns, but I always thought that it was because of the kickback.
Like, you shouldn't bother aiming up/down because of kickback, and so the sight was just for horizontal aiming...or something, I'm talking out of my ass.

It's an anti aircraft mount. When the aircraft get's closer, or is diving above you then the barrel must be swung up to aim and the receiver will swing down. It's hard to go prone behind the gun to get a sight picture on barrel mounted sights. while still firing. So the high sights which allows you to maintain some degree of aim while kneeling/sitting.

this man is correct. The sight can be adjusted down the barrel, compensating for the target's distance

Yes, the gunner stands above the line of the barrel and sprays the pesky planes with the Ma Deuce, as>>314479stated.
