We discussed this issue a bit in the past. I think the reason is that Flex 4.6 came with FP 11.1 and we want to keep it the same way so as to not break applications that started using APIs not in 10.2 but are in 11.1.
Users are free to download their preferred version of the FP swc since they know their codebases better. In fact, Justin has a very handy script that downloads all supported FP versions here [1] In other words, the support is there except that the other versions of FP swc are not downloaded by the installer. Hope that helps.
