Very true, they aren't the most efficient, but there are times that they are the better option. I would rather do the short zigzag drifts, then do a long one & lose momentum because I hit a wall, or not do a drift at all. But you are correct, the longer drifts are better, faster, & easier to control.
Those short zigzag drifts you make are not very efficient. Fewer but longer drifts are better, faster and easier to control.
