One issue is that on Unix, there's a single file hierarchy. Various file systems, drives, volumes, shares, what-have-you are mounted _into_ this file hierarchy.

So, if you have an NFS share mounted, some parts of it may support one file naming scheme while other parts support a different scheme.

I didn't even think of that. I can see things get messy fast, and can understand why such an API wouldn't be a priority.
