I won't dispute your claims about passive vs electronic crossovers. I will add the following to the discussion though.
Electronic crossovers allow you to change the relative output of different drivers depending on how the music was mastered or recorded on the particular playback medium. Each musical piece is recorded differently, although most are within some reasonable margin. But an appreciable number of recordings require some significant adjustments, particularly in deep bass.
I would say that at the very least, allow for controlling the output of the subwoofer separate from other speaker drivers. But I can separately control the midbass, low midrange (60 to 500 hz) separate from the subwoofer and high frequencies and this is useful. The high frequencies of my system (>500 hz0 are passively cross-overed.
I use the Sublime Acoustics crossover, which seems transparent.
