I realized most of you say "AA missile" or "stinger" instead of "FXM." Is there any reason?

@MZR_926"AA Missile" is pretty generic for this type of missile, in BF4 the "Stinger" behaviour pretty much matches the FXM in BF2042 (lockon-fire-forget). BF4 IGLA mechanics are quite different, but it also is an AA Missile.
I think SAM (surface-air-missile) would also qualify.
I think the correct term would be MANPAD
As for the question you responded to...stinger is a generic term and a lot of us use it just like we would call something that works liike a javelin a javelin instead of some weird designator
