Loudness - Why has the industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer?


I listen to music at all times of the day and night (solid sleep eludes me the older I get).  My favorite times are when the family is gone and I can select the listening level, mostly moderate to higher volumes.  But the simply fact is I find myself listen at lower levels much more often then my preferred listening mode.

Piggybacking on a discussion regarding low level listening here on Audiogon, I'm posing the question:  Why has the majority of industry stopped producing amplifiers with this feature any longer?

I look forward to your input

There are some preamps out there with bass & treble adjustments on the remote. Emotiva makes one.
My old Luxman preamp had both a loudness button and bass & treble controls.
I end up doing a lot of low-volume listening with my Maggies....not a good combination...but bass & treble controls make it enjoyable. 
Have you considered a Schitt Loki equalizer?
