Well, if we view FAT32 + this name convention as a new filesystem, then filesystem drivers could let you transparently operate on files bigger than 4GB (GiB?) and take care of the splitting for you. FAT32 + this convention would essentially become a filesystem which supports files up to around 4TB. You wouldn't have to make the choice between the patent-encumbered exFAT and the open but limited FAT32.
