But there is a hardware volume control on the iPad. It very quickly silences the device. Why fiddle with a software switch?

In those cases, I'd want the switch to be immediately identifiable, reachable and responsive. I would not want to have to figure out where it was in the application I happened to be using, then slide it to zero carefully. A hardware slide switch was a perfect fit for those needs; a hidden software slider isn't. I can certainly live with this, but for me, Apple got it right on the first try and wrong on review.
