I haven't checked for recently available devices, but in the not too
distant past it was very expensive to get more than 8 usable bits from a
device running at multiple hundreds MHz sample rate (not to mention the
extra load in the math and processing such as filtering, FFT, difference
calculations, etc. resulting from more bits)
