A reason I can see for this is that XSL-FO is often the result of a
styling performed by XSLT which is much more a transformation than a
styling language IMO.

This means that to change a font or a color you have to change the XSLT
stylesheet (except if you use techniques such as "style free
stylesheets" which I have already used with success with XSL-FO but I'd
guess that very few people do this) and this task belongs to programmers
more than to designers...
