I have always thought that ALC is not appropriate for power control. It’s a protection system. Over use of ALC acts like compression.
You are absolutely right. ALC should never be used between a transceiver and an amplifier for power control. Likewise, for digital modes, audio drive level should never be used to set output power, but rather so that levels are within the best operating range of both computer and radio audio stages.
