I think that's a problem with publishers. They simply haven't found a business model that works well for short books - which results in authors padding their ideas with babble.

One person's babble is another person's "context" though. I think most non-fiction books should have some kind of split between learnings and case studies, anecdotes, data, examples etc...
That being said, an option to buy the TL;DR version and the expanded one should actually open up many more options for most publishers (a la most online ebooks and courses with multiple tiers).
