Because of clueless or clue-deprived authors. As a clueful author will likely be working directly on HTML through a text editor, then the beginner market is important for a WYSIWYG tool. Most web authors do _not_ understand the web and that's why it's incumbent upon a "good" authoring tool to assist them in getting things right despite this ignorance. A tool that easily and quickly builds web sites that still break some fundamental principles of good web authoring is not a tool to recommend. Freeway does page layout in absolute pixels, not document-centric authoring. That's what's wrong with it.
