That's because music listening has traditionally been about source reproduction and I hope this remains the case. Sure you can apply compression or whatever if you want, but you're going to destroy the sonic quality of the recording even more, and, as an audio engineer, I hope software manufacturers keep "limiting" your freedom in this regard (sorry for the pun...).

Reproducing source audio level doesn't help when you're e.g. listening to something on a plane, with a large amount of background noise, and you want to actually hear the damn thing. Users' opinions count for something too.
