Well, it also has to do with diminishing returns. What good is an 8 ft long sledgehammer if you miss the target 9 out of 10 times? By the 10th try, you'd be too tired to swing it.
It's the same reason golf clubs aren't 10 feet long. Sure, a ball would go 400 yards if you hit the sweet spot, but it would probably take 20-30 swings before you could even hit the ball.
