Why do Anime intros always have to be a full-length pop song? I came to watch the story, not a music video.

My guess is it was a trend started by Jump animes, trying to plug up as much running time to fill a half-hour time slot while not messing with the pacing of the actual show material. And then, since that's the way it was done, shows started competing over having the best intro, leading to really fucking bangers that no one really wants to do away with, and now we're here.
