Yes, the defense can return a missed field goal for a touchdown. However, the touchdown would be credited to the special teams and not to the defense since a field goal is considered a special teams play. The TD would be considered under the heading 'return of a missed field goal' and not a blocked kick nor punt return.

Why is a blocked point after try and run back by defensive team not a touchdown?

A blocked extra point attempt that is subsequently returned by the defensive team is not considered a touchdown because the play is classified as a continuation of the extra point attempt rather than a new play. In this scenario, the defensive team can only score two points by successfully returning the blocked kick to their end zone, not a touchdown. A touchdown can only be scored during a regular play, while an extra point attempt is a separate situation with its own scoring rules.
