It’s not. Long-form is easy to write. Every school kid specializes in expanding text into larger volumes. In an essay for my scriptures class I replaced “Jesus” with “Jesus, the only begotten son of God, who gave his life so that we might be saved from our sins” to make the word count. The key is to follow long-form writers who can be succinct. The quality of concise communication of concepts then flows into their longer writing.
