Because the "Finale edition" of GPO is a teaser of sorts.
Since GPO and most of the other Garritan products are so inexpensive, it would be counter-productive for the makers of GPO to include the "full" version of their product with sales of Finale, as a free add-on. Finale and GPO are made by two entirely different companies.

So they include a "teaser" version: the GPO for Finale library, which is a "light" version. Quite functional, but not as complete as the full product.

By the way, as a registered user of Finale, you get a discount on any future purchases of Garritan products if you do so via the MakeMusic website.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
