I don't know if it's always laziness or time constraints which stop people from condensing their thoughts more. Fluffy articles remind me of when I wrote essays in school: I made them as long as possible because I thought longer = more important, even if the information density reduced as a result. Fluffy articles often remind me of that mindset, except there are no marks for effort on the internet, only originality.
