Why? That the bolts are long has no real bearing on their sheer strength, which is what is at work here. And probably with the torque applied to the bolts it probably doesn't really stress the bolts at all. And the only sheer exists at the mount to adapter interface and the adapter to caliper interface. Otherwise the bolt is in (very low) tension.
