POST also has a (larger) limit.
Actually, both *could* be limitless.
A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $x for its limit on GET.
A server is require to have NO LESS THAN $y for its limit on POST.
$y >> $x but it has a (possible) limit.
Servers are recommended to have the limits as high as possible.
So, again, it boils down to this:
POST versus GET is an aesthetic choice, not Security, not Performance.
