There's no particular reason for this other than that there are a whole
lot more external (USB or Firewire) interfaces than internal ones
because the last couple of generations of would-be computer recordists
prefer not to take their computers apart. This is correlated with the
fact that most new computers bought today are laptops and have no place
for an internal card.
I've just finished up a review of a Focusrite Forte and I think it
sounds every bit as good as my Lynx L22. You can get more classy or less
classy hardware, but the truth is that unless you're charging top dollar
for your work, you can do just fine with anything above the "junk sound
card" range.
