This is very true, but the ability to make the changes this way is better
than a push button which has fixed step sizes and one direction of
movement.  Most knob controls in modern equipment have a variable/finer
step size depending which gives the finer resolution available from true
analog controls.  Which gives the user the impression of analog control and
better user control.

Y'know on most modern amps with volume control knobs, there
is not a potentiometer behind that knob.
