I know why shortstacking PLO is probably better than NLHE right now, but that is most definitely not the reason why. If anything, that would be a detrimental effect of shortstacking PLO since your preflop edge isn't as great as in NLHE.
The main reason why shortstacking is effective, at least in the way I see it, is that it takes advantages of people playing too loosely against someone with 20bbs behind them. Basically, people just play as if everyone had 100BBs+, wherein this lies the profit for the 20bb stack.
