Mmmm.

In the case of a GUI fader looking like a real one, is it really
so hard to find out that you can drag it starting from anywhere and
not just on the knob ? And if you can, is that really 'in opposition
to the graphics' ? 

Considering the other case, Ardour2's faders, is it really obvious
you can do this ? Or can you be sure only after you have tried it ?
For the same money, clicking it at some point could make it jump to
that position (and luckily it doesn't). 

I don't think this is as clear-cut as you suggest.
