I think it's the only position where I've gotten that magical feeling of being 100% inside, and feeling her anus at the very base of my penis.
We've recently started having anal this way too! The feeling is incredible when right up inside her. It's like the best blend of sensation, depth and easier for her as she is relaxed and open.

It's the very firm pressure of pushing into the vibrator that gets her off. We've experimented with lots of other positions and nothing else works.
Since it's hard to get good penetration when she's straight like that (and her body is rigid; she tightens up all her core muscles), what we have always done is switched positions: She gets off, then we switch to a position that's better for me. I can see us doing the same for anal.
My girlfriend has never found orgasm easy either, though that has now changed with anal. Maybe your wife would find it better if you prolong the foreplay or just use the vibrator more on her before you start the penetration? So that she's almost there?
But we are some same after she has cum and lets me enjoy the sex in whatever position I choose. To me this is the best part and I can relax knowing she's satisfied and can just get into it for my own pleasure without any worry.
I think you're already answered your own question about why people go AO:

Regarding AO, I would certainly prefer to go vagina-free, but only if it's something my wife would want too. Anal is just more pleasurable to me.
You know I often think in all honesty that wouldn't most men also prefer to go vagina-free? And who doesn't find anal more pleasurable?

Yeah I can be bad about that and often fall asleep. My girlfriend rarely misses a trip to the bathroom afterwards.
