My concern is that they originally put it there on purpose and changing it would reduce the longevity of the engine... it warms up faster that way right? Otherwise why would they do it.

I've never liked that on any car, it's counter to physics and what I have practiced for forty tears. I avoid even medium rpm's and minimize load (soft foot) until the oil (in my cars that have it) or water temp has at least moved off the peg, usually longer. I want es much expansion as possible before stressing the engine. I assume the manufacturers believe it is not harmful but that does not mean it's good.
