Because the timing wasn't right.. Nirvana/grunge ruined the whole market for Metal guitars (and especial pink and bright blue colored versions) in the early nineties.

Fender was never too successful with guitars specifically for metal. I guess they stopped trying after they took over Charvel/Jackson

I own a Fender HM Strat from 1989-90. It has Fender USA stamped on the neck plate, and no other marks of origin. It is in Hot pink color with a 24 fret maple neck.
It is a fabulous guitar! I love it. I got it for $212 in summer of 1996. It came with EMG pickups and a Kahler Spyder USA tremelo. The only thing it needs is a control cavity cover. The plastic plate/cover was missing when I got it.
Great axe, but by the time Fender released it on the market, the market was changing and it was out of style. Too bad really.
