I've always found this to be a more comfortable design. Obviously, most of it comes down to what you are used to & familiar with.

FWIW, when I need to do what you are describing I curl my pinky around the volume knob. I rest it on the knob or around the knob on the pickguard.

I've always thought it was perfectly placed because it was easy to & manipulate while muting on the bridge.
