I wouldn’t know anything about this, but adding other aircraft types to your fleet means extra facilities and personnel for maintenance and more spare parts and so on. That could be very expensive and could cost more then letting an aircraft you already own fly not entirely full.
But again, I wouldn’t know. Just guessing.

Fair point…however FlyDubai is owned by the Government of Dubai as is Emirates Group, so there are tangible links

The distance is too short (Better to take a car or a bus). Dubai’s Southwest border is next to Abu Dhabi’s Northeast and vice-versa. They’re Neighbouring Cities
It’s a same case with Hong Kong-Shenzhen and Singapore-Johor .
