I believe this stems from the state of import/export at the time this feature was added. Csv import was primarily intended to import bank statements and with that limited scope had limited functionality. The csv export was written as an inverse operation for this csv import, and in that mindset it was never considered to export the GL as the csv import wouldn't be able to import it anyway (support for roundtrip export-import was taken in consideration but not properly implemented). In 2.7 the csv importer has been made much more flexible and I believe it would even be able to import GL like transaction data now. The csv exporter has not (yet) gotten the same attention in 2.7 so GL export is still not available. It would make more sense now though to line it up with the improved csv importer. Is there an enhancement request for this ? If not, feel free to file one.
