Airbus does not currently use active force feedback; the technology was unavailable at the time of design.
No, the technology was available, but it was deemed to complicated and failure prone to incorporate it into the FBW system.

I guess the main issue why many pilots would like some force feedback is a position feedback of the other stick, not necessarily of flight control positions.
