They assume you will be hooking up tv to an HT receiver. Sadly, they don't even think about us folks with basic stereos anymore. Most New TVs don't even have analog out anymore. My TV only has HDMI and optical out, and I don't have a receiver. Luckily, I had an old DAC LYING around that I could d usage, and an integrated amp with remote volume.

So you use one remote to change the channel and a different one to control the volume? I just am having trouble understanding why anyone would intentionally design it that way.

Seems pretty simple and intuitive to me: when I press the volume button on the TV set, the audio output should increase or decrease whether it is the internal speakers or an externally connected source.

. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .

  One remote controls everything.
