The main reason would be quite simply the weight. A commercial aircraft will have a larger laden weight when compared to a fighter jet. Even though a commercial plane will typically have 4 engines vs the typical 1 or 2 of a fighter jet - this is only to provide the extra force required to more such a mass. It will take a longer time to get up to the correct take off speed hence a longer runway. If a car and a Artic. lorry raced along a road to reach 60mph - the car will acheive it first.
