I would say due to being more thermally stable(often catalysts operates under harsh conditions), also a stable crystalline catalyst would maintain its activity for longer period making cost-effective.
In terms of activity: having a uniform structure lead to predictable site for catalytic reactions enhancing the efficiency and reproducibility.
also for practical matters. although there are advantages linked to the amorphous state, from a synthetic point of view it is much more complex than obtaining a specific crystalline phase
Crystalline sample provide more accurate information regarding active sites of catalyst this can be used for future catalytic design . Also these sample has higher thermal and chemical stability during the catalytic reaction.
Despite the larger surface area of amorphous samples, crystalline samples are preferred for catalysis because of their higher stability, well defined structure and also its improved selectivity.
