Because it is?

I'm not sure what kind of answer you hope to receive.  Your Acrobat
package is producing a version of the file format that XeTeX doesn't
support.  Support doesn't magically appear just because a certain number
of years have passed, and being disappointed about that fact will not
cause it to stop being true.
