It would be convenient because it is the same interface that one uses to
enable and disable fontification in many prominent Emacs modes;
specifically, I'm thinking of C and Lisp mode buffers, although there
are plenty of other examples.
Otherwise, to disable/enable highlighting, you have to track down one of
those variables, change it, and then recreate the buffer somehow so the
change in the variable takes effect. Just typing 'M-x font-lock-mode'
is tons easier.

Why? There is no slowdown when using `font-lock-face'. For what other
possible reason would you set `font-lock-maximum-size' other than speed?

Well, that's a hard problem to solve. Note that even not all modes
which use "traditional" font-lock supply multiple levels of keywords,
which `font-lock-maximum-decoration' needs.
