It definitely isn't too long for a good oil designed for the purpose.
It does come at a price though - but you still win in the long run.
Just don't pour in regular oil and hope it'll do as well ... it won't.
Plenty of cars are using these extended "long life" service intervals without issues.
Do you even have any idea how long oil stays in the engine of a truck ?
They don't change it, they check it.
It's only changed when the check indicates a problem or that the oil has worn out.
