Why? Excessive heat output? Probability of reduced bulb life due to the shade reducing dissipation of the heat from that bulb? Excessive light output?

Whatever, I've been using 100-W. incandescent bulbs in four Anglepoise lamps here for many years: no problems at all - just need to remember not to touch the shade!
