The article specifically suggests writing the key down in a notebook. A single incorrect digit and the scheme fails much later in a way catastrophic to the user.

Signal asks you to repeat the key immediately before even enabling backups. It cannot fail much later unless you modify the digit after the check.

A longer key makes typing a bunch of characters back into the phone much less usable.
