The reasons - much less stretch (see K7NV's very nice analysis of same using 
both EHS and 
philly - no comparison!), no UV concerns (long term philly use is still not 
available in great even 
numbers), cost, and overall strength. 
I don't know how long you consider long term, but I have Phillystran up that 
I installed 20 years ago (the old potted stuff) and the jacket is still in 
great shape after 20 years in the Florida sun.  All my towers are guyed with 
Philly or Polyrod (less stretchy).
