One reason for the NL vs mixed games thing is that mixed games are almost all played limit, and that changes your bankroll requirements a lot.
 
30 buy ins for $5KNL is $150,000.  100 big bets at $250-$500 limit is $50,000 and 300 is $150,000.  Exactly what BRM strategy the players at these limits subscribe to is another question entirely, but in theory you could play the $250-$500 limit with an equal or even much smaller bankroll than you could play $5KNL and you could also expect the swings to be less pronounced.
 
Also wrung has it: like all good players, high stakes regs prefer to play the games where they feel like they've got the best edge and in most cases that's [I]not[/I] in NLHE.  Maybe they've got an edge in NLHE and maybe they don't, but chances are there are other games where they'll be able to put their skill advantage to better use.
 
Isildur1 is one example - he played people at PLO when he had to, but made it clear that he'd rather be playing NLHE.  Not everybody was willing to give him NLHE action though.
