It's true that those things do fail a lot, although the advantage of them
is
that they get the transformer physically away from the electronics which
is
otherwise hard to do in a tiny little compact box.

Most of the modern mixers with inbuilt supplies are switch mode, so the
transformer is small, light, and operates at high frequency, so little
problem putting them in the box now.
