I didn't find any official documentation or any other blog explaining why there are no cancel event in the workflow, so maybe this is the standard design of the F&O system, and the workflow system of the last company I worked for did not have cancel event or recall event too, which means that once a process is initiated, it cannot be canceled or retracted.
