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

@lou_setriodes , add Decware Z-Rock to your list. This seems like the best solution for anyone wanting to keep their existing gear, but add contour adjustment. No longer in production, there was another unit by a company (1-man operation actually) called Delicious Decibels.
