This has been extensively discussed on this list (you'll find in the archives). The main (technical) reason is: they are different types (comments vs. environments). A note/comment/greyedout inset can contain all up to a whole subdocument, while a footnote/margin has only limited possibilities. How should we change a comment to a margin note if it only contains a heading, say a whole chapter? It's impossible. Juergen.
