About the freq limit: consider that the resonant freq depends on the
applied magnetic field, and you can't perfectly shield the osc from ext fields: power line frequency things, Earth's field, etc. Since f is linearly proportional to the field strength, things are percentage-wise more immune to external fields if the field strength is high, and thus the resonant frequency is high. Also, other designs are relatively more practical at lower frequencies; it's no great trick to make a lumped LC oscillator at a couple hundred MHz (though electronic tuning over an octave range becomes a bit of a chore because of all the stray capacitance). So it's a matter of the frequency range over which they are relatively more practical and economical than the alternatives. And of course, there are many factors to the "practical" part of that.
