I once auditioned for a pro band for a US tour & at the audition, I was amazed at how quiet we were. Plus the drummer sounded huge. Yet the rented amps master volume barely touched two. That’s because that drummer had spent a long time tuning and dampening his kit properly. So the microphones did the job of projection rather than him. For some reason I don’t think many drum teachers show people how to do this. But it is achievable. Not macho, but it works.
If this is a question purely for blues/rock/Jazz/pop etc bands then maybe you have a point...I wouldn’t know because I don’t really go to those gigs...and if I did I’d probably ask “why do guitarists use small amps!”
