Because almost all complete flat top uppers, minus custom builds, come with standard FSBs. It's just the way it is. And changing out a standard FSB for a flip up isn't the simplest task in the world. You really don't need a flip up unless the FSB being in your sight picture bugs you, or you want to be cool.

I am trying to build a complete rifle from scratch and though I would use a flip up or removable front sight. I just thought it looked better with the flat top upper. Thanks for the answer, I thought it might be a mechanical thing or something.

I also prefer flip-up sights since it allows an obstructed view from sight to muzzle. There was a recent Powerpoint slide floating around here showing that SOCOM was moving to the flip-up front sight as part of the SOPMOD improvements.
