It could be just me wanting all possible controls available! 
Also in a way we've spend a lot to buy the best bass our budgets allowed for before we bought (a) subwoofer(s) so for most it would be 'counter intuitive' to (partly) disable bass reproduction by the main loudspeakers. I for example employ a second order (12dB) high pass filter @ 80Hz to my main loudspeakers as it gave me the best results but it renders my woofers almost 'obsolete' (they now only work in the ~80-200Hz region)
Every room and system differs so there really is no fixed set of rules. That's also why I always "advise" people to find an installer with lots of experience in this field who also uses a measurement system to see if (and where and how!) a/more sub(s) could be beneficial and then dials in the system optimally.
