I think the issue raised by the OP must to some extent be related to commissioning. Not many composers can afford to indulge in a large project without a commission to pay for the effort. Now, if you are a famous violinist with an interest in expanding the repertoire, what do you do? You turn to a composer you like and say, "Write me a concerto, please". If you are a conductor, you don't say, "Write me a symphony, please", you say, "Write me an orchestral piece, please". Which can be anything. So the scales are weighted towards concertos.
