Historically the cult of the word count has led to padding of Novellas, novels getting butchered, trilogies that aren't, novels that just... stop...
In the magazine era, when writers were paid by the word and editors needed to showhorn content in the available print space it was a necessary evil. In ebooks?
Not needed.
Some legacy categorization isn't worth maintaining.
