Oh, various reasons. Each filesystem has its strengths and weaknesses. Some handle lots of read/write operations more efficiently than others, some deliver in speed, others handle great big files and others handle very small ones.

How long can a file name in Linux be?
This is fiercely dependent on your filesystem, but since the de facto standard filesystem for now is ext4, the typical maximum is 255 characters. It's not going to be practical to go over every filesystem Linux supports, so I'll just say read the manual.
