While we're on the topic, the Emu 1212m soundcard has that DAC and no one seems to care.

Perhaps, but it's still the flagship DAC from Cirrus Logic - and on it's specifications, it would seem to be pretty good.

Because it's good.
Remember, the price you pay for the final system is several multiples of the bill of materials, so it probably represents $50-100 in the total price of a system.
