No, this feature would be useful : when we record audio songs, we may do several passes because the record is not correct : a bad note, some delayed notes or chord, or for people singing the lyrics may be misarticulated, etc...So, for a given song, we can do several passes of recording and at each time we need to manually adjust the level of the recording volume.
The feature would be useful especially for difficult songs where we need to do several passes of recording before getting a quality audio result.
The feature would be an user option and if you don't need it, then you don't use it.
Furthermore, in a DAW, when you arm a track for recording, it doest not reset the volume settings.
