The 777 doesn’t need 7000 ft to land 3500 would be workable with light load.

Taking off and landing of planes are two different sets of requirements.
You can land a plane almost anywhere semi-flat if you are not concerned about getting it back in the air.

Landing length depends on total weight. Use of full reverse thrusters can shorten the distance substantially. A plane that’s low on fuel requires a shorter runway.
Takeoff also and the rate of climb also depends on weight of the aircraft. Get rid of the passengers with their luggage and airliners almost jump into the air if they get a rolling start. A low rate of climb decreases the needed runway because the plane can stay in ground effect while it gathers airspeed.
