If people are willing to pay extra for an external enclosure, I'd call it a success not a flaw, because that means there is a market for these products.
Not everyone sees value only in raw horsepowe ...

I don't want to be "closed mind" but as I owned two "Mid-range" card
Here is the card
HD7850 2GB GDDR5 and
GeForce GTX660 2GB GDDR5
Both cost around ~$1600 and can handle most game @ 1080p
Both run nicely when you place it in ATX case
but starting to place either card into smaller computer case (For example SG-02)
I know you may think I shouldn't compare this case with the things you mention
but I have to point out even with this "space" around
When the card run modern game ( like Battlefield 3 for example) , the temperature of the card goes up to 68C.
I tried fit it into smaller space like ITX case (SG-05)
but fitting Mid-range performance card into SG05 will start to have problem keeping the card from overheating
Maybe custom built ITX rig can do the trick

but the External case won't be very small as it still need to fit a 150W ~ 200W PSU and cooling capacity to keep the graphic card cool.
Of courser there are easier way for not so "mid-range" graphic solution (but don't expect to play new game and have good experience )
Another "solution" for reduce the size is using Mobile graphic card ( which won't be cheap as well )
