Do game devs need to respect our time better? Can shorter games be better?

My sweet spot is 30-50 hours for a long game. Anything more than that is just too much (even though a lot of my playthroughs have been longer than that i.e. Dragon Quest VIII being 81 hours, Bravely Default II being 76 hours, Final Fantasy XV being 75 hours, etc)
