Well, why even have multiple extensions? Why not develop a container for all images and use a single extension for all "commodore disk images".  The answer is... Because of history. "Dxx" started in the dos days and people are comfortable with old tried-and-true ideas. Even today in the "pc" world there are few extensions bigger than 3 characters even though the 3 character limitation hasn't been imposed for a long time.
