Is there any reason why AFN doesn't broadcast in regular AM mode on
these freqs?

If they did, then their target audiences wouldn't need higher-priced
specialty receivers to tune them in. They could do it on any SW radio.

SSB gets through better than AM with the same power. Saves power on the
transmit end and on receive the IF filter is narrower lowering the noise
floor improving the signal to noise ratio.
