It may have a lot to do with licensing royalties. Exfat was created by Microsoft and is licensed for use. So why increase the cost of the device when you can just ship it with the older system that costs nothing.

There are so many open filesystems that I'm not sure that it's really a valid issue. It's more that MS values compatibility with prehistoric stuff more than anything. If it was up to them, we'd still be using wax tablets and styluses for compatibility's sake.
