Why exotic stylus not used on MM?

Is the reason why micro line or similar exotic stylus are not used in MM' s because the tonal balance will shift to higher frequencies?

Not sure which.

Based on a moving iron principle. Is that exotic enough? Find me a modern MC with such a cantilever and press fit.. it’s divine sounding as well.
