What does this mean? Is this supposed to be, "Why are novels written?" or "Why do novels exist?"

A novel means nothing more than the length of a story. Basically, you have flash fiction, short story, novella, novel, saga. What is consider a novel length story is decided by publishers and can vary. Typically, it's about 80,000 words long (but can be shorter or longer).

A writer will write a novel length story because their story happens to be that long.
