I dunno, not wanting to do an entire history in a CS seems fine to me. But then I come from the school of thought that I'm more interested in a character when they don't tell me how juveniley tragic their backstory is (because it always is) right from the start. But also I'm petty and all my history sections on a profile are intentionally vague and surrounded by adjectives and sentences that add nothing but length. Kind of like every essay done last minute. 

Don't get me wrong I understand why some people want a history section since it shows the RPer put a modicum of thought into the character beyond the name age and who they want to fuck but I don't really see the point in needing fucking essays about their favorite Christmas memory as a child or whatever. 

But also I think super strict and specific character sheets are bad so maybe it's me being shitty.

I agree though. A History should not be extra detailed. It should give a good structure on their past and explain why they are the way they are. Kind of like just reciting a memory. After that, should be good.
