French inflight refueling question

Why have the French stayed with fixed inflight refueling probes? They came up with what appears to be a perfectly serviceable retractable probe back in 1974 but as far as I can see only two a/c, the Mirage F.1AZ and the Super Etendard are fitted with it. Was something wrong with it?
