Because most dSMBs rely on internal pressure to seal the end..?
If the bag is not full water pressure will seal the end.

but does the small size make for any awkwardness with reeling back in or anything? ie it's not so small you might wind up sinking it on ascent?
I think that is known as using the DSMB as a crutch. Rather than winching up the line, you could try ascending and recovering the line which is less effort. If you stay neutral during the ascent even a very small closed end DSMB will stay on the surface.
