These platinums only have value due to leaderboards like psnprofiles and psntrophyleaders as they allow people to move up the ranks as they earn more platinums. Sony's change to the trophy system a couple of years ago only increased the value of the platinum making these games even more attractive.
I think a change to the leaderboards is more likely than a change to the game production/trophy rules. If the leaderboards removed all games that took less than 30 mins or 15 mins or 5 mins and moved these games to there own leaderboard they would instantly become less attractive.
Because of this risk do not be surprised to see one of these quick platinum game producers invest in one of the major leaderboard sites to secure their place.
