Considering a “long game” is in the 80 hour range of play time, 10 hours for startup can be somewhat excessive. It’s true that new players may think they are in control when they are really not - but it’s easier to understand when the other side had larger/more units. There is a reason why new players in RTS games tend to overbuild defenses - they’re default goal is to play for and secure the map.
