Why can't we shorten shared link URLs on Dropbox?

The email in question...   I'm sending a link to a client and the link is longer than the email itself. It looks so unprofessional to the extent that it looks like spam. Yes I could hide the link...

Why is there no way to shorten this within Dropbox? Is it really that hard to implement?

They used to have one, using the db.tt domain for the links. It was removed years ago.
