Any particular action length isn't "stupid", but we as consumers are indeed "stupid". We are asking the firearms and ammunition manufacturers to do things that require thinking outside the box. Today everyone wants long sleek heavy for caliber bullets and 3000+fps velocity out of 50 year old cartridges, with a 20" barrel, built on a 50 to 110 year old action length that were never meant to give that performance. Thinking outside the box gave as short and fat cartridges for short action rifles and blown out fat cartridges for standard actions rifles. Don't hate the action length if you're trying to shove modern bullets into some 30-50 year old cartridge and then complain about running out of action or magazine length, that would be "stupid".
