Why do you need to use a temp controller for a lagering fridge? Is the controller built in to the fridge/ freezer not adequate?

You are correct. Most fridge thermostats can't go much higher than the mid 40s. Most lagers need to be fermented in the low to mid 50s. An external temperature controller will achieve this. Once the beer has fermented, the fridge thermometer will work fine for the "lagering" phase.
