I agree - this has always seemed strange to me.

I move my mixing desk faders around all the time to check how things I'm tweaking are sounding and when I undo I find myself going back through a series of fader movements. I'd love to be able to exclude the mixer altogether.
At first sight I disagreed with these strongly but I see the logic. In late-stage mixing, I tend to want to solo, mute, and louden parts temporarily but I also want volume changes to be exactly undoable so I don't go around in circles by accidentally messing with something that was perfect. How do you deal with this, Drew? Do you have another method for undoing the results of playing around, or are you happy to manually reset things by ear afterwards?
