Because the instructions are really hard to read in Windows L&F (because of the 
monospace font):

![HTMLFileName Instructions in Windows L&F: the text doesn't fit nicely in the 
window and gets 
wrapped](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ecd39482-e448-4436-96e5-8d6b96c888d9)

The image isn't clear, but you get the idea: all the text gets wrapped, so it's 
hard to keep track of the instructions. Anyway, I'm fine with it.

Harshitha had [a similar 
problem](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/24456#discussion_r2054468745), and 
she switched to [using HTML 
formatting](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/24456#discussion_r2054516242) 
which works reliably across different OS.

You can check 
[`JFileChooser/bug4943900.java`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/jdk/javax/swing/JFileChooser/bug4943900.java)
 on how it looks and works in different OS.
