That is not necessarily true. Coach Chad has mentioned several times that the warm-ups and cool-downs are sized with respect to the overall workout length. In some (many?) cases, he has very short starts and ends to meet the shorter workouts (often ones 1 hour or less).

Those shorter warm-ups in particular may not work well for some athletes (especially masters age). Chad says that people are free to add to either end as they need, and their available time allows. There are effectively minimal negatives to a longer warm-up aside from the increase in time needed for the total workout.
