Hell, even Microsoft is catching up with that idea (although minor) and now
use 4 letter extensions like *.docx etc.

One reason is simply habit, but also because these extensions are visible
to the user more often than not and having long extensions in filename
lists (like, e.g, when using version control) become redundant noise and in
some cases it takes space (like in file managers). Up to 4 letters is fine
for me, 5 is stretching it and anything above that is only something i'd
use for file types that i wont see often in a list and even then only if i
can't avoid it (but really even just 4 characters gives you a lot of
variation).
