Most companies would rather hire externally than promote from within it seems. I don't know what started this trend but it seems widespread. You have to start out at a company very early on to get promoted these days. That's why I just quit and go elsewhere if I want a promotion.
Same reason mobile network companies have better deals for new customers than existing ones. They think they can continue to shaft you because leaving is an inconvenience.
Only until you get a job offer elsewhere they suddenly find money for that raise which didn't exist before

I think for some roles, it does help to have an outsider come in for the sake of an outsider's prospective.
EDIT: This is also really prevalent in Strategy roles which require exposure to the broader market. I'd imagine the head of Corporate Strategy at a firm like Google would prefer to hire a Director from a competitor like Apple, Amazon of FB instead of promote within. That insight to how you're competition is moving is pretty valuable.
