Being strictly a location engineer with no sudio experience, why aren't alll studios wired with XLRs for mic in, and TRS for line in?

Studios are not wired with XLRs or TRS. Studios are all wired to a Patchbay.

The most common patchbay used is with Bantam connectors. (there's others)
Any input or any output will have the same connector, which is very practical an convenient.
But someone that is not experienced might connect for example a Compressor output into a Mic Input that has the phantom power On.

As for professional hardware units/equipment, the units itself
Mic In and Mic Outs are normally XLR
Balanced Line In and Balanced Line Out can be XLR or Jack TRS, depends on the manufacturer choice.

XLR has a locking mechanism so it's normally preferred in Professional situations to Jack TRS
