This works well because in the usual setup, you have the line out going to a local source, like your stage amp/monitor, while the XLR is going to the house system where presumably you have a sound person to control the volume. Even if you don't (running your own PA from on stage), the XLR provides a constant output so you can set the gain on your board once, and then you won't affect the audience's levels if you change your stage volume. I suppose they could have had 2 volume controls, but it doesn't seem very useful. Think of a regular passive DI - no volume controls on most of those. Your volume thru the PA is controlled at the mixing board.
