I personally would rather they not show the song performances. Typically, they're the least interesting aspect of the film. I'd rather have longer acceptance speeches, tributes, and cinema-focused reels, etc..

I think you're the one person in the world who wants longer acceptance speeches. They're largely just lists of names.

Interestingly, I think the reason the speeches are like that is because they have such limited time. I watched some of the SAG Award acceptance speeches, and they didn't cut off any of them as they didn't have to worry about commercials. The speeches in turn were more heartfelt than the rushed name lists you're talking about, because they had time to both acknowledge the people they wanted to and say what they actually wanted to say.
