Because the control layout is unique and can have labels. And the custom interface allows a user to recognize which slider, knob, or switch does what.

That way the projects one builds and wants to use again can be state saved as a type of sudo-App. The reason for having a customizable AU3 control surface, is to be able intuitively use whatever one builds with this paradigm using a layout that makes sense to the user. The potential of what might be done is immense, because of the combination of possible configurations is huge. And adding additional single controls to operate other 'Parameter sets' in the hosted Apps. It's the idea of linking a single Control to operate multiple parameters in two or more Apps. Is allow one to explore 'simultaneous multi-App parameter control' to the fullest extent. What a customizable AUv3 controller would do.

But no comprehensive way take full control over it, to might make the fullest use of it. So we currently have all this modular power capability on our iPads. That way of using individual AUv3's might seem in essence like a kind of modular system that uses AU3's as modules. We can already load several Apps into AUM, and layer them, run them trough effects in various ways, and in general use those AU Apps to build musical things with capabilities that extend far beyond what any single App might be able to do on its own. I'm interested by the idea of a user-designed-layout, AU3 Midi control interface, because we currently have so many powerful AUv3 synth and effect apps available on iPad. All the layout tools already exist in Nurack, it would just need to be transformed from a custom effects layout App, into a Control Surface layout sorry I was focused on the midi building bit being able to be done on your iPad and I missed you saying AU3 It would be nice if Paul from 4-pockets could repurpose the Nurack technology and create a brand new AU-App for constructing custom controller surfaces. The nice thing about Nurack is the interface is made to look like hardware, and there are some options for switching control styles to give your creation a custom look. But for those with determination and patience it might be made to work. Using Nurack for this is a hack-way of building a custom controller because it's not well designed for that purpose. The controls in Midi Mixer can be edited and moved around, sliders can be converted into knobs, and they can be relocated and assigned to control App parameters of other Apps running in an AU host like AUM. Nurack by 4-pockets has a Midi AU, and in that Midi AU there is a module called 'Midi Mixer'. I'm bewildered why no developer has yet made one. IPad needs an AUv3 control surface App with a versatile, highly configurable, control layout editor.
