As a manufacturer of line stages I would expect you to argue in their favor, and all of your points are well taken, but if one knows what they are doing all of the problems you mention can be minimized or overcome.
Many (most?) audiophiles don't understand the problem. There is an impedance problem they don't understand, they have too much overall gain and have to run it with the volume control way down, they pick the wrong cables, or a combination of these. They try a passive and it is poorly implemented so they conclude they are inferior.
In simple terms a passive has some sort of attenuator and a line stage is the same thing with a buffer. If you know what you are doing you can choose components and interconnect them in a way that allows you to eliminate the buffer. If you don't then you can choose a line stage.
