I class my stories as full short stories because they have a start, a middle and an end. The length is mostly irrelevant as they are stories and not books. All my stories are complete (or full), they are only split into parts to make posting in this group easier due to restrictions. However all parts are posted at the same time.
If a character needs naming for a story, they will be.
My shortest story posted was 'Off Parade' which was 1,023 words.
My longest story posted was 'Model Holiday' which was 19,091 words.
As I tend to write mainly about fantasy historical events, a build up and explanation is required to bring the reader up to the same wavelength as the author to understand better the scenario.
However, as you "don't even read stories like" mine To quote your own words, This conversation is basically irrelevant.
Each to their own.
