Or maybe it's hard to do that all the time consistently? You know, people give you "great ideas" all the time. Usually they are ideas for a week or two and then they are out of them and struggle (props to those exceptional writers), especially when it has to aim to somewhere and not anger the players for various reasons you cannot predict (like failed marriage).Its not hard to write 150 words x 7, or build up a bank of stories that bring in aspects of PP, its leaders, megacorps, superpowers at all levels, not just he said / she said. FD have a giant lore bible, why not actually use it?
I wouldn't want to do it and I think I am a pretty good writer and thinker (I managed a DnD world session and progress for few years), because it's a massive pain in multiple different ways - in Elite as in SC.
EDIT: Also regarding that "he said / she said" part - have you ever looked at the news? May said this, Trump said this, your country's president said this... normal news are rarely about stuff actually happening on big scale.
