I was randomly looking at current hardware synths,

must, I'm wondering why, even in very expensive keyboards where cost
saving is a smaller issue, an AES/EBU (or at least a S/PDIF) output is
not available.
I'd guess that these devices are not meant to be used in a studio but
for live performances.
There are hardware synths like the Edirol SC-D70 that have a digital
output.
