I wouldn't be so quick to say "usually". If live vs. dead is the only difference, then you're probably right. The axle moves in a live system, so that's one more moving part. But the live axle system I'm most familiar with has the axle itself as the gearbox output, saving several parts (sprockets and chains at least). You
can just use a live axle in the same sort of application one might use a dead axle, but you get additional design options when you choose a live axle.
