Why are soldering irons so long?

I think it’d be way more precise to have a soldering iron where the tip is close to your fingertips, just like a pen.

They get real hot. Putting the hot thing so close to your fingertips would burn them. There are smaller soldering irons for precision work but there is just a limit to how close you can put the s(m)oldering hot tip to a person’s fingies.
