Within 500 unique people, 51 voted below 30 seconds (so ~10% of those people) and 92 between 30 seconds and 1 minute (almost 20%).
So you want to prevent those let's say 15% of the community from playing maps they would potentially enjoy because the other 85% may not? That's sick.
What's wrong with playing short songs from time to time? It can be refreshing sometimes. Also, it'd kill the diversity of the game, some songs are below 1 minute and can't be looped (https://osu.ppy.sh/s/8393 https://osu.ppy.sh/s/14282 just some random examples) yet are fun to play.
Also, don't tell me that those maps are very common, on the first page of ranked maps (so out of 40 maps), I counted 4 maps that are below 1 minute of drain time (including 2 where the song is actually below one minute). Saying that this is filling all the free slots in the qualified section is quite a lame excuse. If you don't like it, don't play it, people have enough material to play and have fun even if they skip those maps.
Yet I'd would agree that cutting a song that is like 3 minutes into something that is less than 1 minute makes no sense and should be prevented with a guideline.
