Why?
Because the GFDL is bloody awful. CC-BY-SA gives all the advantages, to both content creators and users, without the unnecessary overhead and the strange feeling that one ought to be frothing at the mouth and bad-mouthing "Micro$oft" that always occurs when one attempts to use the GFDL.
The GFDL has it's uses if you want to minimise reuse.
