Reasons: a) If it gets "confused", you can't power it off and on again without doing the same to your computer; b) It doesn't have a set of nice easily visible lights to tell you exactly what's going on; c) It might be a winmodem; d) It's harder to transfer it between machines (if you ever need to); e) Plug and play ISA devices are a pain in the butt; f) A black box with flashing lights on it sitting on top of your computer looks dead cool.
