I think you have some incorrect information, Derek. End grain to end grain glue ups are the weakest joint you can make. Long grain to long grain is a strong joint, stronger than the wood.
You better check your sources. Or do some testing.

[Maybe we have a definition problem. End grain is when you cut a long piece of wood. The wood at the end of that board is end grain. If you try to glue two boards together end-to-end, the joint will be quite weak.
If I glue two boards together side-to-side, that is long-grain to long-grain and the joint is quite strong.]]

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
