I assume the restriction is file system related. It's probably not always cheap to calculate the full size of a directory, especially if it's heavily nested.
Windows will tell you the size of a dir in the right click -> properties menu, but it takes a while to calculate for large/complicated directories.

Caja (and probably Nautilus/other-Nautilus-based managers) does that as well. But although can show it in properties arranging by size doesn't take it in consideration. (Rather it just sorts them by number of items inside.)
