If a fic writer's body of work consists of 90% drabbles, then I agree with you, but I think drabbles are good for flushing out the earwax, so to speak. It gets rid of any junky ideas clogging your brain. But I would never post a drabble to a comm unless it was specifically a drabble comm, and even then, I'd post two or three at a time. It seems like such a waste of a post, otherwise.

You know, the second half of your comment really summarizes my approach to writing and sharing shorter stories. I'm not sure if it's insecurity on my part or just the general MOAAAAR attitude that fandom is largely afflicted with, but I always feel more comfortable seeing a group of drabbles in one post.

That said, if someone is really good at writing drabbles/shorts and actually crap at longer stories (obviously, they would have to try writing a longer story in order to verify this), I see no reason why their entire body of work shouldn't comprise of drabbles.

Well I'll admit, when I made that comment, I had someone specific in mind who isn't a very good writer and clogs every community he's in with posts whose headers are longer than his actual creative output.

As for the rest, eh. Someone in the comments used Hemingway as an example of a famous drabbler, but ya know, he wrote books, too. There's no reason why a good drabbler can't take the time, whether it be four weeks or six months, to write a longer story.
