Question Why Would A Webhost Not Support Certain File Formats??

Hey, I'd be much obliged if anyone can shed some light on this: why would a webhost not support certain file formats? Like, does it cost them "space" or "bandwidth" or something??

I just found out my host doesn't support .cur, .ani, .bmp, or .ico files...no big deal, in a way (though I was rather enamored by the idea of having my own flavicon!), but it seems very odd, all the same, given that these files (at least the .cur, .ani, and .ico) files are often minuscule but pretty standard for the web these days....
