Agreed; selection bias - presumably the code base analyzed was made by experienced programmers with instincts tuned to creating smaller functions. When we do observe larger functions, there must have been a specific reason to do it, like a big case statement or text generation. The programmer is making an exception, and there's probably a structural reason for it, the logic is probably simpler, and extra attention will be paid.
