The OP’S tree is topped. These trees are pollards.

The pollarded ones in the picture
They have that awkward teenager look only in the winter
Once flushed out with green Im sure they're more appealing

Owned my own tree business for 25 years never topped trees! Bad voodoo.

A pollarded tree is a living art form on roots. Much like topiary shaped trees to resemble animals or other neat figures to resemble art forms.

When we visited Disney world down in Florida they had some Shingle Oaks lining the entrance to one of the exhibitions . They weren't topped or pruned so to speak but they were sheared to form a specific uniform geometric shape . As a tree guy I couldn't help but admire those trees and just thought it so cool .

Id add mature conifers get a different treatment then ornamental planted trees too
Just look at the thread where a neighbor clearcut one side of mature a pine
