I think there are two dynamics at work here. The writer's first call is to write the story, at its "natural" length. This is a work of art. The editor has to fill an anthology with stories that fit certain specifications that might include genre, tone, and even length. This is more of a craft, in my mind. If you can write, or have written, a story that fits, great. Otherwise, write your story and you'll still likely find the right home for it.
