This is Microsoft in the 90s so we all know why we have competing incompatible extensions. Or rather, why there are exactly two competing extensions: the one every non-MS operating system uses, designed by the 9660 working group itself and released as an open IEEE standard; and then the proprietary MS one.
Anyway, as you can see, ISO is not limited to "8.3".

No, the opposite. If anything, ZFS is the exception, and I'm not particularly sure you are correct there either, as it will likely break some Linux users. But I can count the list of file systems that standardize a encoding with my two hands; _every other filesystem_ does not impose one. Not even FAT does...
