That is insane but also very much expected for their length, The best way to pull the wool is to have an EULA that is basically a Stephen King novel. I suspect this is how lots of EULA/TOS/T&C get away with what they do, dozens or hundreds of pages of tiny font.
Look at the Instagram one it lists based on average reading speed 86 minutes(one of the images shows a word count and 86min), Nobody will spend an hour and half reading the EULA for an app.
Now I know why lawyers who handle contracts are so busy.

Very cool. This is why we're overdue for strong regulations like Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), so that you know what you're getting into when you opt-in to one of these services. There's way too much room for abuse otherwise (see, for example, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica).
