I think that's less on the format and more on the intent. For reports and what is traditionally viewed as "written form", reader is expected to have high tolerance for length and boilerplate. I see it as the pendant of the "younger generations can't read anymore" critic, where lenghty, rambling and diluted prose is becoming harder and harder to parse and focus on. On the other side page load speed and attention grabbing metrics are thoroughly studied for web pages and people value terseness, to the point of loathing click baits and endless listicles.
