Eppy and I were talking about this the other day. He pointed out that when we talk about short stories, we mostly don't care how innovative a short story is. Mostly when someone sits down to write a short story, their goal isn't to innovate at all. Their goal is just to do something difficult well, and that's a challenging undertaking all by itself, and when they succeed, we're right to admire them for it.
