On the other side there are anime that are very long and yet have a proper ending, like Death Note, Monster, Legend of Galactic Heroes, and a lot of anime of the past when 40-50 episodes was the norm.

Yeah, most animes have been getting short in recent years, and if I'm noticing the trend correctly, most new anime seasons are adapted in order to fit into thirteen episodes, or at least into the season.
Regarding those old-school animes, the reason why they had so many episodes probably because they had started before this whole "fit animes into a season" thing began, which is why they can go on for so long.
