Who uses long interconnect like in dealers?

Ideal setup has front end components close to listening chair and run long interconnect between pre and power where power amp sits in between speakers; I have seen many high end dealers to adopt this setup and result is usually more than great. This way front end components do not obstruct speaker imaging and can also avoid bass heavy (vibration) location. But if that is ideal, why do I rarely see long interconnect for sale in used market? I don't think people only upgrade components and short interconnects?

The run between my tube preamp and tube amps are kept short. Only 38 feet, and single ended ;^ ).

Most visitors comment that my tonal balance, resolution and high frequency extension is extraordinary. I don't think the length of interconnect is the only factor. The brand and quality of the interconnect along with equipment choice is equally important in determining whether long or short runs produce the best results.
