100 bytes is ridiculously small. For search, you need to store artist,
album artist, composer, track name, album name, genre, release year,
etc.

And I'm not sure if it's that easy to ditch unicode considerung vorbis
comments as well as most id3 variants store tag fields in unicode.

Back in the late 90s, many if not most people used ID3v1. It was always
a major PITA to be limited to a tag with no more than 128 bytes (or 125
usable bytes). 30 byte song and album titles seemed never enough.
