Short commands are more likely to cause collisions and sometimes
distribution maintainers are forced to rename them (leading to more
confusion).
CLI lovers tend to create their alias anyways.

Since shell completion has been around for decades I find that
completing commands like git-*, ssh-*, apt-*, dpkg-* is fast and also
help reminding myself of commands that I don't use frequently. E.g.
tor-relay-monitor can be easily discovered by tabbing around.
