Why do soundcard manufacturers do this?

M-Audio, to be specific. They get the best overall reviews from users and trsters themselves (the most important thing). But heres the problem:

First i wanted the audiophile, its got midi, but only 2 in, no mic (just in case if i ever need one in the future), no breakout box. So then theres the Delta 44 and 66. Great breakout box, 4-6 in-out. But wait, no midi, no mic ??!?? That sucks. So im stuck with the Delta 1010. Got midi, got mic, a bazillion different cables and no breakout box. Out of all the pruducts with a breakout box, this should be it.

I believe the delta 1010 does have a breakout box and the one with only cables for connections is the delta 1010lt. The difference between the two is the breakout box and that the lt has unbalanced connectors.

they do it so you have to buy all of their products to get what you really want
