In answer to your question, "ever more" is mostly confined to the literary language, while "more and more" (or -er and -er) is the construction we use most of the time in real life.

'tall' has one syllable, so it is easy to pronounce/say 'taller'.
"Impatient' has (im-pa-ti-ent) has 4 syllables, so it is too hard to pronounce 5 syllables. "impatienter' is too hard to say, and it sounds awful.
