Seems like the question is on the assumption that nebulizer is better than injector at atomizing fuel. Is there any source that prove this?

Also, one reason I can think of is that the more time fuel is mixed with air, the more risk of backfire. Carburetor and especially injector mixes fuel and oxidizer in the last moment to minimize the risk of mixture touching hot surface and go beyond flashing point while already atomized.
