Producers Who Own Multiple Keyboards But No Mixer?

One thing I’ve never understood is the tendency for people who produce music to own all these music accessories, such as multiple MIDI keyboards, but not own a single mixer (control surface).

Instead of dumping files online and making people figure it out for themselves, I’m gonna’ explain this situation as no one else has.
