Don't we want the search space larger? That way it is harder to wardial? YouTube has 11 characters composed of [a-Z] and [0-9]. (26*2+10)^11 is a pretty big number. There's no reason it couldn't be longer.

It would also make it harder to dial by phone, if you need to do so.
Yep, exactly, I think it's beneficial and the right move.
