I don't think that is exactly the case. The whole problem with SW RPG is that no one in LucasFilm really figured out where to put it.
Is it a tabletop game? Is it a book? Is it something else?
IIRC Hasbro didn't want to pick the WEG SW RPG line when it closed the deal for producing the Prequels trilogy toy and tabletop games line, but at the time Lucasfilm didn't see the SW RPG as published material, they saw it as a kind of board/Table-top game, and the agreement was kind of an all or nothing thing, either Hasbro picked all SW toys and table-top games or it would get nothing. Luckly Hasbro had just bought WotC, and that's how SW RPG would end up in the WotC RPG line.
It seems that we are experiencing something similar, after-all is SW RPG just a kind of board-game or should it be considered a book? Lucasbooks releases digital content for and digital versions of their books all the time. But given that there are a multiple game related apps released by FFG, I doubt it would be an issue to release a Character Generator, if that's what they wanted.
I think that the most probable reason we don't see anything other than a dice roller, is because with a character generator a lot of people would not have reason to buy the plethora of career books being released by FFG. Most people do not read those books beyond the talents and gear/vehicles sections, if they can get that information without paying for the book, they would never pay for the book.
