[Let's take those questions out of order, shall we.]
The best I can figure is that a confluence of factors were just perfect for the Doctor to manifest that way. The Doctor being such a strong personality, being so disparate from Fitz himself, and combined with his brain injury... maybe it was easier for the Doctor to maintain a toehold.
And... truthfully, I think Fitz holds on to the guilt of things he did in there. The Framework lives are sort of like the Hellburbia memories. They weren't real but they feel real. He came out of the Framework himself with with not just knowledge of things he did but the visceral memories, too.
[She hesitates a little, because honestly this isn't going to sound great, but in for a penny and all that.]
The Doctor did appear another time, Fitz did have a break but he hasn't lived it yet. We're -- I don't know if you know, but we're at different points in our timeline. I'm from a little more than half a year later than him. This had not happened to him yet.
