Light and weak interactions seem to be independent conditions, is this theoretically motivated ? Many UV theories predict new heavy states with sizeable couplings to the SM. New light states with sizeable couplings are largely ruled out.

Every spontaneously broken continuous symmetry gives rise to massless spin-0 fields.

Since the GB corresponds to the phase of a complex field, it is protected by a shift symmetry
it is protected by a shift symmetry This symmetry forbids a mass term, and all couplings are suppressed by the UV scale

Apart from small couplings, very off-shell propagators can result in suppressed width and therefore long-lived particles

The B meson is not light with respect to its decay products, but the off-shell decay and the boost factor lead to a displaced vertex. b

New, feebly interacting particles with decay length between microscopic and astrophysical decay length are poorly constrained. Goldstone bosons and new gauge bosons are well- motivated to be weakly coupled and light. Search strategies range from LHC searches (displaced vertices, exotic Higgs/Z decays), new detectors, excited meson decays (LHCb), muon decays (Mu3e), etc.
