I agree its purely a personal preference choice. there are thousands of fulltimers happily using motorhomes, and thousands happily using 5'ers.
There are MH owners who change to a 5'er for various personal reasons and there are 5'er owners who decide to change to a MH for personal reasons.
There are a few like me who have one of each, and I certainly agree with the notion that one of the many considerations is that if you move frequently a MH is more convenient and if you park for extended times a 5'er is more comfortable. Not a significant reason to pick one over the other, but one of the many minor differences to consider.
Likewise on the extra towed vehicle behind the MH, some see it as a positive and some see it as a negative. For some, being able to chose the size & type of toad to pull around for daily use is well worth the minor extra cost vs having to use a big tow truck for your daily driver.
What's best for me is not necessarily best for you. we all have different personal preferences & priorities. Do your homework, research different options and decide which best fits your preferences.
