Microfilled composites cannot have a high filler load due to:

Small size of filler particles which decreases the overall matrix
B
More surface area per unit volume
C
Low modulus of elasticity
D
Wear of opposing tooth structure caused by microfillers
High-Yield Explanation
Filler content of microfilled composite  is 50-60% by weight. Because of the greater surface area per unit volume of these microfine particles they cannot be heavily filled. Reference- Sturdevant 6th ed P:218
