MFP app and weight training

Just wondering why the MFP app doesn't count calorie burn for strength / weight training?

I know it burns calories at a decent rate, is there any reason why these aren't included?

    Log it under cardiovascular, not strength.

    ETA: I should explain more. When adding an exercise, add it to the "Cardiovascular" section instead of strength. The strength section only counts reps and sets.
