Oh sure, they can make it, but that costs some greenery bud...
Oh I know it would cost more for the AD converters and processing for sure. Just seems like limited utility with two inputs on a mixer that has several inputs.
You also have to consider the complexity of going off the beaten path for an audio device. A two channel USB audio input is basically free from a firmware/integrated hardware/USB driver standpoint. It is likely a single silicon die solution (a/d codec USB interface). I'm not sure TI analog device or others have off the shelf multichannel (to this extent) integrated audio input chips.
I know you already realized it but it's orders of magnitude more expensive, not just 3x A/D and more processing power.
Beyond that I totally agree with you, it's frustrating that you can't get a cheap mixer that can record all the channels like you are talking about.
Yes you can. I have this exact one in my setup.

After I posted, I remembered having seen the tascam model 12 and model 16, which seem to do exactly what I was thinking. https://www.musiciansfr
Significantly more expensive, of course. Would love to try one of these though.

I have the old Tascam M-164UF 16-channel mixer and it has the ability to record all 16 channels independently (but dry, with no onboard effects getting into DAW, which is fine for my purposes).
You have to install a Tascam driver though, but I believe it is the driver what makes that all-channel recording possible. The driver is ASIO, too, with some rudimentary ways to select latency settings.
Back in 2000's it was about $200-250 new, so I am sure one can find it inexpensively as second hand.
