From a practical standpoint, if the goal is to get the disc in the basket, there's only one "Make" on each hole. The other throws are "good misses". If you think of it this way, there are many more par 2s that are assigned par 3. A good 250 ft throw that misses the basket but is on the "green" and a good putt that's made looks a lot like a par 2. That's why when Steve says calling everything par 3 isn't too far off on most courses, it's because the handful of par 4s are offset by the par 2s called par 3s. The average SSA of long tee courses played in PDGA events is still under 54 despite the exception courses like the IDGC, Highbridge and maybe 50 other goldish courses.
