I have a really prominant brow, an ex girlfriend used to refer to it as a 'neanderthal brow'. In certain lighting conditions it almost looks like a weird Klingon deformity.  I unfortunately have weak cheekbones and wide but receded jaws, these are much more important variables. I would say brow ridge is low down in order of heirachy.

People discuss the frankfurt plane and malocclusion a bit too much than they should IMO. Very few seem to go excessively into changing the SHAPE of bone.

The excessive brow ridge could just be a recessive (heavily sloped) forehead.

Example?

For the record, no it doesn't have to be that. And in some cases (such as mine), I have too much anterior projection and its not even either.
