Shorter and more replayable.
SHMUPS, fighting games, action games, and the like are generally way more fun than longer games because you get right to the fun part immediately. There's no random wandering from point A to point B and no hassling with inventory screens or the like as you are put right into the action right away. There's no "here comes the good" part stuff because every part is the good part.
Of course, games that are utterly fun from start to finish are extremely difficult to find and everyone is different making it even tougher. Longer games will generally have more variety so most people will find something they enjoy even if they don't spend 100% of their time doing that one thing.
