And some of those fish that bite in tight may have been following from quite far out. They just decided to commit when it looked like the prey had a chance of escaping.

IMO a long cast allows more time for your offering to be in the water, therefore allowing for more exposure to fish. Now, if there's a giant blitz 50 yards offshore and you're casting 100... That's foolish. But in normal fishing situations if I'm not targeting a specific piece of structure a long cast is what's used.
