So its gonna happen soon. Its just artistic and rhythmic. How come tumbling down a tumble track isn't an Olympic event? Does floor exercise made it redundant?

Trampoline is also an Olympic event.

Power Tumbling is fun to watch but isn't the same thing as Artistic or Rhythmic. Besides compulsories (boring), it's just basically add-on who can do the biggest and coolest stuff in a few seconds.

However, Men's FX is basically Tumble mostly for skill value and connection and throw in some other stuff to have down time and skill value like presses, circles/flairs, hops to the corner dance and prance. Not much choreography.
