Jordan,

Could you explain why?

Serious question, I've never done any extreme long range shooting of either type.

Sure, as dogcatcher mentioned, it's possible to design a fine SFP reticle that is usable at intermediate magnification settings, but is very fine (in terms of angular subtension) and therefore ideal at maximum magnification. For an FFP reticle to be as fine on the high end of the magnification range, it would be difficult to see at all on low magnification.
