This reminds me a bit of how I used to see "short chapters" when I was younger. I had this dumb prejudice against short chapters because I saw them so much in YA, which I also tended to look down on in many ways. YA had "all of the bad writing and the bad tropes the adult novels and genre doesn't" . Not true, but that's the kind of thing I believed, so I associated short chapters with "amateur YA novels" because the Adult novels I came across happened to have much longer chapters (I'd even make sure all my chapters were at least 13 pages long because of this). It was a really dumb and pretentious thought process on my part, but I learned to identify where the association came from and I'm glad to be rid of it.
Now? I love short chapters. It encourages me to read more. I fully recognize that some even intentionally employ short chapters to make it harder to put down because I may tell myself, "Just one chapter more, it's not that long." and I don't mind that one bit!
Also, I'm pretty sure Stephen King even had a chapter that was only 1-2 sentences long before. Misery had some. Some people will look for any excuse to turn their nose up at something. I feel the writing world can be particularly cruel about this, as it can be a very emotionally-driven field.
