Installation audio DSP's are great for systems that run without user interaction for the order of years. They are pinned to the acoustics and functionality of a specific environment and won't need to change unless either of these do. Live audio and production environments instead need to cater for changing acoustics and requirements on the order of seconds, minutes, or hours. There's a lot for dynamism required, and are often being interacted with by multiple people which warrants a different approach. Endless customisation here can be a hinderance rather than benefit. A modern digital console is absolute chockers with user tweakable DSP though. Venues may also have some racked up DSP's running speaker processing with a console in front. There's no hard line, just different tools built for different needs.
