to get 1/30 second exposures at a reasonable aperture for good depth of field on days where the contrast isn't too high means shooting really high ISO film. the effect is a consequence of the conditions where contrast and depth of field are within reasonable limits. under those conditions, it's best to make a virtue out of a necessity. also, the shorter exposures aren't usually more interesting and definitely less realistic. that's why you don't see more of them. the convention is a lot older than photography anyway. having taken lots of both, it's way easier to do the long exposures and get predictable results.
