No one scrolls to the end of a long form article to get a recipe. Instead, they just close the tab and say "too long; didn't read."

Your other point are good though.

I highly doubt this is true. Scrolling to the bottom of a page is a very low cost to pay for a recipe.

That was an explanation of why long articles that don't have recipes at the end aren't consistently ranked higher than short articles that don't have recipes at the end.

Ah, I see how I completely misread that. Thanks for clarifying!
