The great oil filter debate

I don't see how the new modern vehicles use a filter @ 1/4 of the size they used to be and good for 10,000 miles.
MPEFI, closed loop ECU's, modern machining, Synthetic oil, killer PCV, controlled EGR..its all modernized to the N'th degree. Makes the carb'd motors look like coal fired power plants. Look at the cross hatch on a 100K mile Magnum/Hemi and the relatively clean heads.
