I 100% agree.
It's a crapload of work to add even an hour of content to a game and it's even more work to keep any system interesting for a short game. Furthermore, most people don't even finish games longer than 8 hours (or maybe it's 10, it's something in that area, I forget). Anything longer than that is largely wasted work that only a minority of players will see.
It's much better to create an engaging 6-10 hour game that keeps systems fresh and interesting that must players will see rather than spread your effort over 20 hours that more players won't even see over half the game.
