Why do audio amplifier have volume control and not gain control?

It is always seen that audio amplifier work at fixed gain, while attenuating the signal at the input to change the volume. That doesn't sound good since you decrease signal to noise ratio. Also reducing the gain by acting on the feedback network should improve linearity at lower gain. But why no one ever does this?
