Doesn't this apply to novels too though? Sure there are behemoths like Umineko, but most VNs are comparable to novels (and novel series) in length.

Isn’t part of the problem that by design most VNs have like a dozen endings?

Most VNs have a 'true' ending though. Other endings usually just give you more insight into a particular character. You're not going to be able to fully represent a branching VN as anime, but there are plenty of anime adaptations of branching VNs that still worked really well (e.g. Steins;Gate).
