I guess it's simply because fans prefer Rapunzel with her long hair? (I personally don't, I've always thought she looks way prettier with her short brown hair. XD) Or maybe it's because her short hair kinda represents her bond with Eugene, and the authors want to pair her up with someone else. *shrugs* I guess that would also tie into the whole "alternate universe" thing.

I agree with you though, I think that with her short hair she would still have tons of opportunity for character growth. Whenever I put Rapunzel in my fanfics I always give her short hair, unless it's specifically stated that its a flashback or something that is happening before it got cut. Other than that, I prefer it short. :)
