Is this "normal" for some cherry tomatoes?

For cherries, I usually just plant sweet 100's and Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes. They are always extremely spindly. Fortunately, they are sort of "steady as she goes", and keep producing all season..........on very spindly branches. Is this just "normal" for those types of tomatoes?
For a few months, I keep thinking they're going to be duds, but then they keep on giving. I would like to see them get a bit bushier though. And many years ago, my sweet 100's were always busy. What's going on?
Thanks.

I don't know if those varieties are spindly by nature. I have had spindly tomato plants when the plant did not get enough sun. The Sun Sugar appears in pictures to be spindly, but the Sweet 100 appears to be less so.
