I think it must be due to some stupid unwritten law that says each musician must be louder than all of the others in his band. As a performing musician, I can tell you that I have always kept my volume down to keep my tone quality high. In addition, who wants to listen to some heavy loud bunch of jerks when you can't tell a G on the bass from an F# on the guitar? I don't.
