The L1 is just too limited for that usage in a "real world" gig situation.

Where I know where you're driving with this comment the comparison is awkwardly skewed.
The Bose is designed to be set and left alone (at least for the most part)
It doesn't require much attention once a sound and level is agreed upon. That may or may not work for everyone but it IS how it was designed to be used.
A "real world PA" assuming we can agree on what that is, is fraught with major obstacles. They very seldom run themselves well. That would mean a component in any Bose-vs-PA comparison must include a soundman. It also must include monitors and as I think someone else has mentioned a LOT more schlepping. Then there's competing with ever rising monitor mixes and the worse of it all is never really knowing what's going on out front anyway.
I get what your saying but the Bose IS a viable alternative to some who may not want the traditional headaches that often are associated with PA's
