Well, then you've got a bunch of people running the act same 303 software through the exact same distortion. I mean yeah, you could turn it off and use something else, but people are generally lazy when there's a convenient option already right in front of their face. Not having built-in distortion means you're probably going to be processing your ABL 3 through a different plugin (or maybe even hardware stompbox) than I will because you're going to have to reach for something to do the job. Better to have a bunch of people do their own things differently and have their own sounds.
