why are companies so keen on recruiting externally instead of promoting from within?

Every company I’ve worked at seems to have a bias towards hiring externally rather than internally.

I’ve worked with some exceptional performers but the company still preferred to hire externally.

Is there reason for this that is kept quiet?

Number of external applicants is greater. More choice

Not all companies are like this though, as external recruitment can be an expensive and risky process.
