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.

WizTree (https://diskanalyzer.com/) on Windows seem to be faster than other tools I tried.

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.)

Just lie to me a little bit. I wouldn't mind seeing quick cached approximations that assume that I have changed the disk between reboots, or recently just move huge files around (and the OS would know anyway)
