Redundant?

I agree with part of your argument: Aside from phono stages, nobody needs a gain stage before their power amp, and very few need a very low output impedance to drive their amp.

But what about source switching and volume control? If you have a single digital source and it has volume control, you don't need a preamp. But everybody else does.
