>6' vs 5'11"

They happened to break out at the right time in the late 80s-early 90s with the right brand of degenerate party rock which had an approach that seemed fresher than what bands like Motley Crue were doing.

Hair metal bands were just riding off the fumes of Led Zeppelin and Exile-era Stones. RHCP had a lighter, more punk-flavored approach. Their main influences were the Stooges, Butthole Surfers, Misfits, etc plus hip-hop influences and a sound that just seemed a little bit more modern and "alternative" than the heavy metal thud bands. Of course John Frusciante was also a one-of-a-kind talent who gave them a pop sensibility they'd never had before.

because one of the guitarists is Will Ferrel.

All very true. Hillel Slovak was a garbage guitarist. No technique, no decent tone, nothing.
