Some may give the impression of more bass by acting as a hardwired EQ and
rolling off the mid+treble. If all you want is more bass, the EQ settings

Well, you if need an EQ, I'd rather have a defeatable and adjustable one
than a hardwired piece of wire that cannot be turned off.

I completely agree!
But the "audiophile" and "audio" worlds seem to do things very
