I understand the routing--in fact, I have tried to use the plumbing/water flow analogy with someone else. My question is more in the "Why that way?". So in your example:

That makes sense.

On the Master Fader track labeled "Master 1" (far right in Red) you see the MGM plugin which is an analog soft clipper/limiter plugin emulation and it is post fader

So "why?" the MGM plugin here? Is it just a "safety" for preventing clipping at the very end, or does it serve some other purpose?
I guess my more general purpose question is "What FX/plugins do you put on the master instead of the 2-bus, and why?", and I'm guessing that the pre/post fader difference is part of it.
