Why anyone would ask/speculate/whinge about stuff they would _never_
need let alone actually use is a complete mystery to me.

We like to keep the audio, especially the analog stuff, somewhat away
from computers and other noise sources. Not to mention the value of the
Mac Pro is in editing - I can easily (and do) record a bunch of channels
on my now ten year old iBook (which also has no audio input, but it does
have a microphone). Other than Protools, which has become such a bloated
pig that yea, running it on a Mac Pro even to just record stuff is
probably now a necessary thing.....
