Devices such as the Clapton mid booster and EMG-SPC require a +9v supply.
Strats, even HH ones, always look slightly odd without that third knob.The current Squier HH has two knobs ( effectively removed the middle one) which looks gappy and odd.

I sometimes like to have my neck volume rolled down so that I can switch between a clean and dirty tone using my pickup selector.
It's a passive tone control from 0 to 5 combined with a low-impedance load, which is progressively removed when turned up from 5 to 10, making the sound appear to become more lively, but in fact it's still less so than with a no-load tone control at 10.

Excuse the (potentially very) stupid question, but; Why can't you blend two humbuckers?
But now that you mention it, having exactly that - a knob that blends between both pickups being full on to one being partially on is a good idea to add to the list of potential uses.
Anyway; Happy experimenting!

If you are fine with the 3 knobs, then why not 2x volumes plus master tone (or master volume and 2x tones)? With the former you have a lot of tonal shades by relative levels of the two pickups. On Les Paul style guitars I prefer a bright neck pickup, and often leave the neck volume around 5 so I can switch rhythm to lead with the pickup selector.
