Why are they still so hung up on 8.3 long after Win95?

I get not wanting to have spaces in a filename. Those suck.

Is there something low-level that still doesn't like long filenames?

Well this was Vista era, they were probably doing that to ensure some sort of expectation from particularly tricky legacy apps. Windows prefers not to break old apps if at all possible.
