Don't think it's a "standard" per se - but I can think of practical considerations: neighborhood property values, etc.

And then there's the TOGW issue: with more runway available, some planes might be able to carry more payload (or fuel), but then you can run into tire speed limits (higher Vr) or other physical issues.

Given present technology, there's probably little payoff in a longer runway.
