Is this a problem only common to large helicopters, because the situation seems strange to me?
No. The situation is not strange, just the severity of the manoeuvre.
Plenty of light singles run out of power trying to come to an OGE hover - the accident stats are there for SWP and it is often because they are overloaded, haven't done any pre-flight performance calculations or have been caught out by wind (or lack of it).
