They take long because you need to extract the flavors from the bones. There are two types of stocks too, white and brown. The only difference is that in a brow stock the bones are roasted and the mirepoix ( onions, carros, and celery) are caramelized giving that deep rich brown color rather than taking the raw bones and vegetables.

The quality of a stock is based on its flavor. If you order a beef stock that tastes like carrots then you did not make your stock right. The flavor of the stock comes from the collagen found in the connective tissue of bones. Beef and veal are larger animals with more connective tissue than chicken. Therefore you must cook it longer to extract all of that yummy flavor out of the bones. If you do not cook the stock for the appropriate time frame, for the stock you are making, then it will be weak in flavor.

Hope that helps!!

Fish and fish bones cook very quickly so do not need a long simmering to make a good flavoured stock. Beef and beef bones do need a long simmering to extract the most flavour and goodness from the meat, bones, sinew and marrow. The animal has had a tougher and probably much longer life and takes longer to cook.

A white beef stock is much like a white chicken stock, the only difference between a white and dark chicken stock being that the bones are blanched first instead of roasted.
