There is no appeal for me. After a certain point ear fatigue sets in. I also have no desire to sit and listen to 2 or 3 guys jerk off for 20 minutes with uninspired, extended guitar solos.

This. It's not the length of songs that's the problem, it's the repetitiveness of them that kills them. There is often no point or purpose to them other than to provide the opportunity to take turns noodling. There's often no meaningful dynamic shift. It's just the same scale played for 12 minutes.
