I mean. I would also rather be short puts on meme stocks, but that wasn't part of the question. Why would you want to be short calls on the indices?
I’d rather be short calls on indices than short puts on indices (because an index almost never rallies 40% in two months but it can drop 40% in two months)

I do agree that short puts is a better long term play, on account of stocks only go up, but it’s short term riskier.
