Surely a basic buddy check would have informed the "newbie" of what to expect regarding the long hose before entering the water?
My 12 year old daughter and I carried out OOA drills, 2 dives out of her OW course a couple of months ago. I took her short hose and buddy breathed for a minute or so, then we swapped and she took my my long hose. Her exact words were, "I want a long hose, you were too in my face!" She found it more comfortable to swim together this way. If that isn't an advert for the long hose I don't know what is
