If you have done extensive research on a topic, or have years of experience on a topic, and you focus for even 5 minutes on a quality answer, that will already generate a long answer. On a website with as many users as Reddit, there’s bound to be a user with those qualifications to make a comment on a topic that relates to their interest. That topic will likely get upvoted to the top (generally speaking).

Not so much on the time, but more on the how:

Long answers can be written at O(50) wpm; good short answers take longer.

Because they love karma points and correcting people more than life itself.
