Why do clean amps have the master set to max by default?

I never thought about it til today, l was thinking about real amps ( never own one to experiment) not having that master volume cranked all the way. 

so anyway on Helix Native i lowered the master volume on a fender model to 5 and max the gain just a little and now my edge of break up tones sound better. 

Does this mean that the master volume on any model in the helix emulates a real master volume?
