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?

I believe it’s law in at least some places in the US or mandated in some contracts to try to avoid nepotism/promoting favorites from within. I’ve also worked places where Union contracts said a company had to look within before looking outside the company.
