Compressors without threshold knobs. Love em'? Hate em'?

Compressors without threshold knobs ("fixed threshold").

Discuss.

Personally, they piss me off. I don't "get it". First, why would any manufacturer be so lazy as to omit one knob; whats their motivation? Secondly, why would any consumer of said gear want to use it this way on purpose?

What, if any, is the advantage of this design?
