Because different speakers have different sensitivity, and matching the
volume after the power amp stage isn't desireable (doing anything to the
signal after the power amp stage generally isn't desireable). So it
follows that each set of speakers should have at least separate power
amps. 

Matching the volume before a single source gets "split" isn't
desireable either, because then you'd have to re-trim the volume
(automatically or manually) every time you switch between speaker sets.

Because then you could match the volume simply by adjusting the volume
knob on each of the two pre-amps (or passive attenuators), if you so
desired.
