I would think the main reason would be cost. Because unlike what most people believe, one of the main reasons for pushing air forks (other than weight savings), is the reduced cost of manufacturing them (less parts). Not that the consumer would notice this in the msrp...
I'm no expert on air shocks but I don't think that same logic would work, I think it would actually be more expensive to manufacture than a regular shock. I have read a few times that KTM intends to sell its air shock as an SXS part in the future though.
Are they weighed with fluids?

Maybe something like KTM's old PDS sytem would work, since the progressiveness is given by the shock itself and not by the linkage.
