Yeah, I'm not aware of anyone offhand who's making big money off shorts. A couple creators I follow have discussed attempting to use them to bring new viewers into their channels, but apparently the conversion rate from shorts viewers to subscribers-who-watch-full-length-videos is bad.

It's still better than $0, but then it costs money/time to make and upload good quality shorts that you could spend on full length videos instead.

Because shorts are well, short, they can't run ads on them the same way they do for full length videos, which apparently hurts the revenue potential.
