>>Do most breeders remove the mother from her eggs and incubate them in an "artificial" setting? If so, why is that?



Yes, the main reason is for maximum survival of the eggs/neonates. You can easily view all of the eggs and remove a bad egg if needed as well as prevent a hatching from pipping into an egg above it and drowning in its siblings egg. Also, you can create optimal incubation temps and humidity in an incubator. There are probably many other reasons as well.
