In mid 80s average intros to songs were about 20 seconds long and now they're usually not longer that 5 seconds . Research showed that it happened because of the online streaming of music which is so popular now. The musicans and producers are so desperate to grab the attention of listeners because it's so easy to switch to another song. That's why the vocals appear so quickly, they are supposed to interest the listener.
I remember that when I was little, long intros always annoyed me very much, but now I've started to appreciate them more and more, because they help you to get into a certain theme or melody. It's a pity that now intros are so short but on the other hand I understand the problem that music producers struggle with... people might be very fussy sometimes.
