The kernel clips that. The process name field in the kernel is limited to 16 chars. Note that there is Tab completion for _COMM, hence I don't think the truncation thing is really that annoying: after all the shell will auto-complete stuff to the right number of chars anyway if you just type in a few. I am a bit reluctant to adding more and more high-level options like "-u" unless there's some major advantage in it. For "-u" there is, because the filter will also actually look for a unit name in quite a few fields, not just in _SYSTEMD_UNIT= (see Zbyszek's mail about that). Also, "-u" will do unit name normalization, i.e. automatically append the ".service" suffix for you if you omit and stuff. If you can suggest something similarly powerful that -C would to, then I am all ears, but the truncation thing doesn't really convince me too much I must say...
