Besides what Boudewijn said, there is a performance issue. Some filters 
works "localy", I think of invert, convolution etc, which means updating the 
results is quiet easy. Others needs to use information from the whole image, 
I am thinking about frequency based filters (like wavelets for unnoising or 
halftoning), and those filters are also very slow and won't be very usuable 
as filter masks/adjustement layers.
