No, it’s because almost nobody has enough patience to upload a crash report for a GitHub issue. It has to be easy. Making it a URL that autofills the form with almost everything we need makes it easy. The size matters too, we didn’t want it to have downsides for our users, but the important thing is making this whole process really easy for the user so that enough developers actually upload crash reports.
