One reason they are rare because while you can attach a 2nd monitor to a AIO, its not to often people want to use the AIO as the 2nd display / monitor. In non tech terms, the HDMI signals are designed to go one way in the AIO. So any AIO's that can be used as a separate Display have a HDMI-IN port. Normally there's some sort of switch / Button you press to switch between the in and out ports.
1st thing that comes to mind, think of the tap in your kitchen or bathroom - Water flows one way -- Try putting the water back up the tap
This is why I prefer the separate PC and monitors, you can use as it designed for then if you have something different like a Playstation you simply switch over to the HDMI port and that then displays, many people use a TV - generally 3-4 HDMI ports, ours for example we have the Sky pod, Media Center (PC) Blu-ray player, all going to the 58" TV and simply change between ports 1-3 for what ever we want to use. The Audio is attached Via the 3.5mm Headphones out on the TV, going to Speakers. The inbuilt TV speakers are not that great.
