That is only legacy. Since the web is older then Windows 95, which brought LFN to FAT and ISO9660 (Joilet), there were some file extensions shortened. I don't think there are any modern operating systems which don't allow longer file extensions. WinXP even has standard extensions which are much longer (.manifest, for example).
