You can't generate xPub for Stellar keys according to SEP-0005. Stellar is using SLIP-0010 (as defined in SEP-0005). From "Master key generation" section:

ed25519 curve the private keys are no longer multipliers for the group generator; instead the hash of the private key is the multiplier. For this reason, our scheme for ed25519 does not support public key derivation and uses the produced hashes directly as private keys.

There are proposals for generating HD keys with a possibility to generate extended public keys for ed25519 like:

However these are not supported by Stellar.

Why Stellar selected SLIP-0010 over other solutions?

SLIP-0010 is supported in hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor. We wanted a solution that is compatible with them.
