It makes the implementation much simpler by putting a not-too-large
limitation that allows to allocate buffers statically and such. Lifting
that limitation can raise a lot of questions. If we just raise the
limit, how much would that be? One megabyte? We cannot really raise the
limit blindly as that has consequences on brltty/brlapi buffers.
