I think the problem is, most average readers aren't used to using word count. But we all have a vague idea of page count from years of paper books. The difference between a 318 page book and a 347 page book likely won't mean much. But '150 pages is a short book, 350 pages is an average book and +500 pages is a long book' is enough to give folks an idea.
