It's just not right. Given the existence of options, shorting is no more bound by liquidity than being long on a stock.

Imagine saying "Stock X is great, but the market can undervalue X longer than I can stay solvent"?

The control against companies staying undervalued for too long is acquisitions. Plus of course, it's possible to buy stocks and hold them long-term without worrying about margin calls forcing you out.
