This is especially true in 2 player games, but the strategy for playing 4s seems to almost always become a game of who can hold onto theirs the longest and safest, homogenizing the strategy for those types.
In relation to that, when it does become a turn where someone must play one of those cards, they are tremendously longer while the player frantically looks for any safe placement over and over before accepting the inevitable.
Bringing decks down to 12 cards for short games can easily trim game times down by 10+ minutes and strategy wouldn't change.
