But, it's following the historical tend over the last few centuries; for instance, the dedication of Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York City drew an overflow crowd to a Mass that was five hours long! These days some priests will say a "golfer's mass" that gets people in and out within 20 minutes or less.
Back in the day, people started a phenomenon of "mass" shopping. Priest with the shortest got bums on seat simply by dint of being brief.
The whole catholic thing is mad.
