Mastodon was modelled after pre-X Twitter, and Twitter, believe it or not, originally allowed you to follow people and post Tweets via text message (SMS). Hence, the original 140 character limit and the original short usernames. Anything longer than that would result in your Tweets being split into two SMS messages. The web interface and smart phone apps came later.
It is interesting that Twitter, and its successors X and Mastodon, have kept the character limits and prefer plain text even though it is no longer technically necessary.

Basically mentioned only means that only those users are addressed... vs. unlisted/followers-only which includes the public and follower collections.
