One of the problems out here is that people kinda keep separating Long and Short Rest mechanics as if they are separate issues. They are 1 issue.

Bottom line is, for Short Rest to even be valuable, Long Rest needs to be discouraged and Short Rest promoted. As is, there is no meaning in short resting because you can long rest as much as you want without any penalty at all, and the cost is so astronomically low that it hardly limits long rest in any way.

So why bother short resting? There is literally no value in it.
