If we talk about Toms example, the Prophet 5, then there is no mixing of 
two waveforms of one oscillator, but a mixer for the two oscillators and 
noise. The two wave forms of each oscillator are switched on and off.

So your argument is not valid.


All in all I remember only a single polysynth with the oscillators 
waveform mixing: the Yamaha CS polyseries, where the sine and the 
puls/saw can be mixed at the VCA. At all other synths the waveforms are 
switched. And I have to say: yes, it annoys me, that this mixing is not 
log. Especially if I want to have mostly sine and add only a little bit 
of saw/pulse, then the slide is too coarse for me on the low level side.
