Well, you -can- do that, but then what's the point of dynamic range if
one simply wants to turn the soft parts up (which makes the loud parts
too loud)?

There is a school of thought that soft sounds are supposed to be quiet
and mixed in with the background noise to the point that we strain to
hear them. Otherwise the composer wouldn't have written the song or
score that way and the conductor and/or musicians wouldn't have played
it with that level of quietness. 

On some material, you can envision the composer wanting the listener to
literally work to hear the music and perhaps even have some uncertainty
about differentiating the music from the ambient noise.
