Because Adobe is gaming and games use Bitmaps.
You're some day going to have to realize FXG was a Flex construct and
to Adobe, Flex is dead. Why do you waste time try to talk to a brick
wall?

Thanks John,
In case these "key differences" between FXG and SVG still exist, I don't
understand why Adobe folks consider not to support FXG 2.0 and forthcoming
versions of FXG in their design tools - like Photoshop CS6 (and later),
Illustrator CS6 (and later) and Fireworks CS6 (and later) ???

google for "why fxg over svg":
When initial work on an XML-based graphics interchange format began, the
natural first thought was to use SVG. However, there are key differences
between SVG and Flash Player?s graphics capabilities. These include core
differences in SVG and Flash?s rendering model with regards to filters,
transforms and text. Additionally, the interchange format needed to be able
to support future Flash Player features, which would not necessarily map to
SVG features. As such, the decision was made to go with a new interchange
format, FXG, instead of having a non-standard implementation of SVG. FXG
does borrow from SVG whenever possible.
