I suppose this is really due to the needs of getting things read on the web as a medium. The article is at basically the optimal length for read metrics. Sucks if you have the attention span to handle more, for example if you came from a pre-internet reading culture on edit: in a way this article on the Trinitonian exemplifies a common strategy for Internet writing, the TLDR article that summarizes another longer form article, or a number of related articles, as this one summarizes a bunch of the Senses of Cinema article https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2020/the-shining-at-40/king-vs-kubrick-the-origins-of-evil/ https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2020/the-shining-at-40/king-v... (although not in the traditional way that one summarizes) Often of course such a summary article is written by the same person who wrote the original and related articles.
