Sometimes I leave long comments (i.e. over AO3's word limit), especially on gifts for me. That's because I genuinely got really excited and wanted to somehow try to convey how much I loved the fic, and express my gratitude to the writer. Again, especially on gifts, because that usually means it was a super-rare fandom, and that no one else might even read it. I don't do it because I "enjoy" leaving long comments; that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I didn't realize that there were people like you, who'd think it was "crazy excessive" and that not "justified". Shit, I mean, if I knew the writer felt that way I'd of course try my best to be brief! Now I'm gonna be second-guessing my comments for a while :\
