Aside from being a minor inconvenience for local files, it also makes it impossible to view files from the internet that require query strings as part of their URL (Something like: example.com/image.png?password).
Process substitution (For example, something I tried as a workaround to the above problem: tycat <(curl example.com/image.png?password | tac | tac)) will also never work, as the file will always be something like /dev/fd/67.
