There's just not very much time in a short to develop characters and a story in a short piece of work. It just doesn't work for creating an involved narrative and so it's incompatible with many kinds of shows. They're also a bit hard to watch if there are lots of short episodes.

is an exception to all of this thought: Azumanga Daioh was originally released as a series of 5-minute shorts. And it's about as well-loved as any comedy gets.
