I think a lot of people want to know what they're clicking on rather
than seeing a lot of meaningless numbers etc.

But it's harder to remember and harder to type.

And having a very long string makes it easier to give each page a
unique name, of course.

There's no chance of running out of unique names except for extremely
short URLs. Just ten characters would give millions of URLs for every
person who ever lived.
