When photographing a model, why do photographers stay far away and use a huge lens rather than get closer?

I realized that in behind the scenes videos, photographers outdoors seem very far away from their subject with a huge lens rather than being close up.

Also sometimes people can feel a little bit uncomfortable if a photographer is right up in their face just a few inches away from them taking a picture. Using a longer lens allows a little bit of physical distance between the photographer and the subject which can help make them feel a little more relaxed.
