Nothing necessarily, but a mixture of prefix and postfix is
confusing. I mean, consider this:
c8([\f\[ \dynamicUp d--\harmonic\cr)-\startTrillSpan \slurUp
e](\stopTrillSpan\] f\!)
Which notes does each element of notation affect? Granted, this
is a confusing example... but if we standardized on either postfix
or prefix notation, it would be simple. Everything from c8 to d
affects the C, everything from d to e affects the D, etc.
(shifted accordingly if we used prefix)

Well, -> changes the articulation of a note, \mf changes the
dynamics of the note... why should things like \harmonic or
\makeRed (if somebody invented one) come *before* the note, rather
than *after* it?
