There isn't a technical reason why titles have to be that short, memory isn't in that short supply despite the RAM shortages. A function, therefore an algorithm, is deciding to truncate the title for some reason.

Which you find to be the reasonable explanation over just OP editorializing the title with their own hands because...?
