The radio buttons date back to a time before the mixer as we now know it. The radio buttons were a way to select one track.

I still actually use them in one way: I right-click on the Master button and freeze or unfreeze all tracks. There are other actions you can take. It's all a matter of workflow, and you have found a way to work without them.
