You are not following the discussion. The sentence you replied to was
about the lack of an overall volume controller program for jack
clients.
Still, an extra buffer for each input port still wouldn't make any
difference in memory usage or cpu usage to talk about. Extra memory
usage would be 20*1024 bytes or something like that, and extra CPU
usage would be nil since you don't seem to need this feature.

You might not miss it, but it's natural to think people who use jack
for the first time expect it to be there. It's also inconvenient to
visit different programs to adjust the overall volume. It would be
practical to have all in one place.
This should be considered an essential feature expected to be there.
Why? I really do not understand it and personally I never missed that
feature in ~ 10 years of using Jack with soundcards with and without
volume controls.
What are the Jack clients you're using that don't have their own
volume controls? How would "that feature" help your work flow?
Moreover, this very discussion doesn't seem to
support your claim that
"this should be considered an essential feature expected to be there",
to be honest ;-)
No. Arguments are what's matter, not what your impression of a
discussion might be. (it's an old saying that if you argue, you lose,
but arguments and logic are still what decides what's right or wrong.)
Do you think
the windows/pulseaudio/osx peple don't know what they are
doing?
Hmm, I can't make much sense of this statement as Windows and OS X are
operating systems, while Jack and Pulseaudio are not. If Pulseaudio
does what you want then so does Linux. Just not Jack. Then why don't
you just use Pulseaudio? Maybe because Jack offers something that
Pulseaudio does not provide?
BTW, just out of curiosity, does ASIO provide what you
want? IIRC it
doesn't but I might easily be wrong.
Does CoreAudio really provide what you're looking for? I'm not sure on
that either after some quick googling.
Look at pavucontrol.

I don't consider my projects to be complex in any way. But even a
simple Ardour session will generate much more than 20 ports as Ardour
already creates 10 ports for an empty project ;-) Any additional audio
track will add at least 3 ports, stereo track will generate 4 ports.
For instance, the really simple project I'm currently working with
sports 138 Ardour ports, 20 Hydrogen ports and 36 sound card ports.
