It's part of the currently-agreed-upon coding style.
You're always welcome to propose changes.

It's more gdb-ish to spell out "length".

FWIW there isn't much need to add new annotations.  Annotations are
officially deprecated.  It's fine by me if you want to leave this in for
some reason though.

This is emitting the linkage name using ui_out_text.  That is wrong for
MI.

Then this emits the linkage_name field with the contents from "stb" --
which is reusing a result computed previously (look up for the
fprintf_symbol_filtered).

I tend to think that limiting the name length should only be done in the
not-MI case.  That is, for MI, it is better to always print the whole
thing.
