It's more of a premium demand route and fleet optimization reasoning vs it being a long haul situation. Being able to compete with the product the competition is offering, transport a large amount of people at once & be able to charge a premium for the product in some cases makes good business sense.
But you'l also be glad you have that plane for the 8+ hour flight.
