No. In my HT system the sub is behind one of the main speakers and close to the wall, well to the right of the TV. The receiver applies a delay to the signal from the other speakers to match arrival times. You would, however, be correct if my receiver could not provide delays to match the arrival times for each speaker connected to it.In my audio system where the amp offers no such delay facility, it would place the sub to the inside of a speaker and probably partly between me and the audio rack which sits between the speakers. That isn't an ideal position physically, and it would also be close to 2 metres from the nearest wall since my speakers are that far from the wall. If you have your speakers some distance from the walls, this kind of placement will result in a significant loss of boundary reinforcement which is a problem.
I think the electronic delay for the other speakers is a much better solution to the problem of matching arrival times than physical placement, but while delay functions are easily found in AV gear, they aren't common in audio only components. I think the HT people have definitely stolen a march on the audio people in this area.
