It is because of the valve angles.
The FE and GE valves have different angles in relation to the "deck" of the head.
Because Toyota didn't use rockers in these engines the cams have to be over the valves.
And because the FE heads have a higher angle, they are close together up top.
Leaving less room between the camshafts.
So 2 cam gears wouldn't fit.
