Many audiophiles use amps that are dedicated and isolated well away from speaker cabinet vibrations. An active speaker with an amp built in renders isolation as described not possible.
Also audiophiles tend to think of active speakers as something for stage, pro-sound, gaming, or theater setups. Usually where absolute wattage and power gets a priority over accuracy.
