Nobody about to create their big work says: "Wait - if this going to be my lucky great success, then my grand-children won't be able profit from it! I'm not starting." And when business people talk about long-term investments they don't mean 90 years.
The goal of having a copyright law is not to create fairness. It's to ensure there is enough of an incentive that works get created, while still maximizing the public use of it. I'm personally for 10 or 15 years, but even 30 years would be okay compared to the absurdity we got today. This is so clearly only about protecting the profits of those who have enough money and power to influence laws.
