Extended code reads like a narrative journalism. “It was an end to a long dark night and trees shyly stayed in a fog when options in a full entirety of their generous content got passed into a pure functional instance of a select tag”.
Maybe we can find consensus by avoiding the extremes.
"Extended code" as you name it is certainly bad with regards to explicitness, while extreme compactness like (some) one liners are as bad as the former but with regards to readability.
