Probably for the same reason people use any other external synthasizer when elequence is available. I used to use it, back when version 2.0 was the biggest and brightest thing Henter-Joyce ever came out with. God, I feel old... but I'm not. Anyway, granted there was no elequence then, but in some ways I found it a little better. For instance, playing games. You want to hear what's going on in a game more than you want to hear JFW. If you have an external synth, you can just turn it down. If you turn your speakers down while you use elequence, that and the game effects will be hushed a little more. Yes, it's a poor example... but it's the best one I can think of without caffeine.
