Well there are many reasons. Me an everyone I know that uses them wishes they could. It is a development board. which means it is used to develop there have been more then a few project where we have needed to just mount it to a robot really quick so we can have a PWM pulse gen on the bot. But it was harder to mount this. Now don't just go and say create a PCB because we needed the serial port for the USART, etc. It isn't something that is permanent. But it certainly would have helped.
