It's a good question.

In a way you really nailed the argument.

SFP is the choice when max magnification is always an option under hunting situations.

Basically under 20X.

When the optic has more magnification than can be used under most situations the FFP reticle becomes the proper choice but comes with the handicap of being significantly degraded at the low end of the zoom range.

This is the Precision Rifle comp situation. Nobody ever shoots on the bottom end of the zoom range.

For hunting optics 15- 18Xs is all one can use all the times so capping the top end of the zoom there and using SFP allows functional reticles at low light and low magnification.
