Probably one of the mailing lists that Debian developers use would be a better place to get a answer, this forum is Debian users, and no one here is involved in the development of Debian, the developers would know why they do not make it a choice when you install,all though you can use xfs for the file system, if you do a custom install.

Why isn't XFS a choice when setting up a new system?
https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1169535XFS --if it's more robust, why are we using ext4 instead?
---snip---
The historical problem with XFS is that it didn't perform well writing metadata. EXT3 and 4 kicked its ass.
That's all being fixed in Linux 3.3.

I think that XFS is a great file system that will eventually take over the "traditional" file system crown from EXT4.
