JFIF is JPEG. The name comes from the specification JPEG images have always been written to, and a .jfif file holds exactly what a .jpg holds. So HEIC to JFIF produces a normal photo file with an unusual extension, which is worth doing when something on the other side is checking that extension.
Mostly age. Software written in the nineties, scanner drivers, a few portals that have not been touched in twenty years. They were built when JFIF was the ordinary way to write it and their list of accepted names was never updated.
Around thirty years of format development. HEIC uses video era compression from 2015, JFIF was published in 1992. The file grows, colour depth comes down, and the depth maps and Live Photo frames Apple tucks into a HEIC have nowhere to sit in a format that predates all of them. What survives is the photograph, which is all the receiving system wanted anyway.
Windows Photos and macOS Preview both take them without complaint. Phone galleries are hit and miss. A few older third party viewers refuse on the extension alone even though the contents are a plain JPEG, and renaming the file to .jpg gets it open when nothing at the other end cares about the name.
Plain JPEG inside
Anything that reads a .jpg reads this file once it agrees to open it.
Name each file yourself
A field on every row sets the download name before the conversion runs.
Photos run one after another
Start a list and it works through on its own until the last row is done.

No. The name would change but the contents would still be HEIC, and the software you are feeding will reject it the moment it tries to read the file.
They are the same thing, so there is no quality difference at all. Only the extension is unusual.
On Windows and macOS usually yes. Some file managers show a blank icon because they match thumbnails on the extension rather than on the contents.
The opposite. HEIC is the more efficient format, so the .jfif typically comes out around twice the size for the same picture.
