Why do line arrays using directional speakers require shorter lines for similar near field performance?

Manufacturers of directional line arrays claim this and it seems to make sense. The more a speaker projects its sound forward instead of to the sides and back the further the near field should extend. Could it be that simple? By directional speakers I an referring to horns or rear cancelling designs as opposed to the typical direct radiating line arrays.
