[Scroll] Nothing listed there is half as long as this piano.

  I think the point being made was that there is no "standard" piano length, and that it's controlled by the engineer. Which suggests that the answer to the question of "why has nobody made such a long piano before?" is "nobody wanted to" - and I can see why, because this particular piano is incredibly inconvenient to move, and pianos are expected to do that.

    Organs are much larger and don't move but lots of organs are built.

      true, and lots of trombones are built, as well. organs and trombones have absolutely zero effect on the things a piano must do. they're different instruments entirely, so the fact that large organs exist doesn't change how pianos are used in any way.

  Because you get drastically diminishing returns as you increase past a certain size, as a huge piano is a hassle in its own right. The linked super long piano won't work even in concert halls -- it's too long to move around backstage!
