Plus, I'm pretty sure my testosterone was low through puberty (as evidenced by the short torso, long legs, long fingers, long arms)
Why would that be due to low testosterone? I ask because I'm exactly the same.

Low testosterone during puberty has been linked to lack of concentration, anger management issues / sudden mood swings, abnormal proportions such as long arms, long legs, as well as lack of facial and body hair.
Testosterone fuses / closes / hardens the growth plate thingies (dunno what you call them, epithelial, or something) in the limbs causing them to stop growing sooner, so if you have low-t in puberty, you'll keep growing longer.
I was diagnosed at ADHD in my late teens, didn't stop growing until I was about 22 or later, have all the physical build issues, didn't even have underarm hair until I was 20, and couldn't grow facial hair until I was 22. Seems clear to me.
edit: I was close; epiphyseal.

I've heard that castrati never stopped growing because they never went through puberty at all...

That was kind of the thought process behind eunuchs; cut the balls off, get a bigger slave. Turns out they were pretty dang right.
You will go through puberty to same extent and eventually stop growing, though, just in the natural growth cycle, even if your hormone levels don't fluctuate as radically.

I was under the impression that it was to make them less rebellious (like how you neuter dogs to stop them fighting) and stop them from fucking their master's wife.
And surely the lack of muscle would cancel out the usefulness of the height gains? I mean, it's like having a really tall female slave: not necessarily more useful than a normal male when it comes to physical labour.

Many of those boys who were neutered weren't used for physical labor but were choir boys. Changing their body like that allowed them to keep their high pitched (pre-puberty) voice for a longer period of time which in turn allowed them to service the choir group longer.

Technically those are known as castrati, not eunuchs.

You know what they say, where there's pie, there're eunuchs.

During the Renaissance and up until the Victorian period, yes. At least in the West.
But before that, and in other parts of the world, being a eunuch was synonymous with servitude. In fact, I'm under the impression that the reason why there are so few black people in the Middle East (the Muslims took as many African slaves as the Christians, but this rarely gets mentioned in history lessons) is that they castrated their slaves whereas we didn't.
