Depending on what you mean by shorter stacks. For 40BB. and especially 25BB- it's usually quite the opposite, as:

a) You don't risk as much, as your stack gets shorter, so you can call jams wider.
b) Shorter stacks realize their equity better and in general prefer big cards.

You fold AK pre very rarely in general too, and this rarely is most of the time side 4-bet chaos, where you fold almost everything (and even there there are spots where you can call with AK).

Honestly, I have heard AK being classified as a drawing hand many times and from different people and I will highly disagree. If we classify AK as a drawing hand, technically everything except for big pairs will be a drawing hand. AK can easily jam heads-up pre and be in a very good spot against a lot of hands, as against pairs it will be flipping (include mid pairs in your jamming ranges to protect your AK from flipping against pocket deuces) while against unpaired hands it will be the best ace-high with superior pairs or will even dominate opponent's ace- and king-highs.

Though in the sense that you shouldn't get married to AK postflop and call huge turn barrels when you just have two overcards I agree. I witness this specific scenario from time to time for some reason.
