I'm used to a 2600' runway. Anything longer than 5000' can be done
with a stop and go
I had thought about the taxiing part, but it doesn't say that in the
regs. And if it is a small enough airport, there is only one taxi way
onto the runway, therefore it requires a back taxi on the runway.

One of the issues with night flight is being able to maneuver on the
surface of an airport without getting lost and making runway incursions.
It can be a daunting task at a large field. I have always supposed that
the FAA wanted pilots to have some recency of experience in such night
maneuvering, and I have thus interpreted the requirement for full-stop
landings to exclude stop-and-go. I have assumed that they want us to exit
the runway and taxi back for departure. Assuming, of course, that there
is a parallel taxiway. If not, then backtaxi, being very aware of things.

What is the reasoning behind the full stop landing?
