Dave,
    It's possible that part of the picture is that in the Windows/Mac 
Pro Tools area the Waves tools (and others that I don't use) that 
provide much the same function as Jamin ARE plugins. (See Waves Masters 
suite of tools.) Some people use this strategy, and others use tools 
like Sound Forge as a post processor, like Jamin is today.

    Both models are pretty common really.

    Supporting your point, though, I don't know of a single tool that 
operates in both modes. Sound Forge isn't a plugin and something like 
the very new Waves L3 UltraMAximizer/MultiMaximizer doesn't run in 
stand-alone mode.

    (Wanna see a CPU hungry plugin then give the L3 a try!) ;-)
