Agreed.

But I wonder why there seems to be such a split between people who
clearly have short git-status output, and those who have long git-status
output.

I keep my "untracked files" list tidy. IOW, I always get:

  $ git status
  # On branch master
  nothing to commit (working directory clean)

and if I don't, then I should be taking some action to commit things,
clean them up, or add them to my .git/info/exclude file. Do other people
generally carry around a lot of cruft that "git status" reports?
