Didn't mean to be confusing and no correction is necessary to what you're thinking to be correct. Your perspective of BIAB being similar to how DAW automation works is right.

I don't think of BIAB in terms of DAW operation and never have so I don't encounter workflow automation glitches if a new feature is added like the introduction of Utility Tracks have created for many users.

So, while your thinking that BIAB's Mixer and Master Channel capability is very limited, you've only discovered one of it's many abilities. It will do all of the things I pointed in my earlier post and more. However, BIAB's Mixer operates like a basic, hardware digital multi track recorder and not like a DAW. That means operations are not automated but are done manually in real time. In many instances, with operations being done one at a time.

F5 options that include Utility Tracks are in the Wish List Forum and one day may be a reality.

EDIT: I corrected the third paragraph to reflect I mean your thoughts about mixer capability, not your thinking... ;=)
