Is there a reason why most tonearm cables are 1.25M ?

To keep the capacitance low. High capacitance cables will act as a cross-over and start filtering wanted frequencies which are very susceptible  at very low signal levels.

So shorter would be better?

If the cable has high capacitance, then yes.
