I would guess it's not just latinisation, in particular, but any major change of orthography even while keeping the same alphabet. Think about alternative orthographies for English, for example: maybe you could invent a better (simpler, more logical, more concise) way of writing English with Latin letters, but general adoption would be a huge disruption and a kind of barrier to understanding between the past and the future.
